This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $104,114 to Haverford College to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying human language learning. The research aims to better understand how people construct mental representations of words and learn the morphological and phonological patterns that govern language. The project will develop interpretable computational models and algorithms...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $160,000 in funding from September 2024 to August 2026 to an early career researcher. The grant supports an investigation into the role of non-systematic structures in natural language, with the goal of better understanding language learning and use. Specifically, the research will develop a novel measure of systematicity in language using information theory tools, and then...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $195,040 to Stony Brook University, a prominent research institution, for a 3-year collaborative research project on subregular inference of morpho-phonology. The research aims to advance the understanding of how humans learn language, specifically the mental representations of words and the patterns governing their pronunciation. The project will develop...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, awards $213,467 to the University of Pennsylvania to study how infants begin learning language. The project combines observational methods and computer modeling to determine which aspects of speech are most important in helping infants learn language. The research will create a large, annotated database of child-directed speech that can be shared with other researchers...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 in funding to support an early career scientist developing a framework for process-level models of human language comprehension. The goal is to bridge the gap between human language behavior and computational models by analyzing incremental language processing behavior, particularly in response to imperfect input, and implementing models to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports the development of a digital phonological atlas to chart the speech patterns of an underexplored language variety. The $238,206 award, granted on May 15, 2025, will enable researchers at Indiana University to conduct linguistic interviews with 160 participants across different regions, utilizing phonetic analysis and spatial mapping tools to...
This $351,534 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on sociolinguistic development in pre- and early adolescents. The awardee, Michigan State University, will leverage a novel audio diary method to create a large corpus of adolescent speech data, which will be acoustically analyzed to test hypotheses about language change and the role of socially influential speakers. The project also...
The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded a $217,800 two-year Project Grant to researchers at Berkeley, California to study the contributions of the environment and social interaction to language emergence. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields. Under the award, the researchers will investigate how environmental and social factors shape...
This $407,738 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on how individual differences in text exposure impact grammatical processing abilities. The project, led by Vanderbilt University, will conduct two main experiments to investigate how reading habits, exposure to different text types, and cognitive factors like working memory and processing speed influence preferences and...
This $56,465 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a multi-year study analyzing the determinants that shape language restoration and development efforts within communities. The principal investigator will utilize a combination of linguistic analyses, observations, interviews, participatory methods, and digital network analysis to track how language is introduced and emerges as a mode of...
