This Project Grant award of $375,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports an interdisciplinary research project to document the nomenclature, classification, and use of local arthropod fauna in four endangered language communities. The project team, consisting of linguists, anthropologists, biologists, and community members, will collect and preserve physical specimens, record high-quality digital audio, and create an image bank and illustrated field guides. The research aims to increase knowledge of these understudied semantic domains, illuminate historical patterns of contact and shared beliefs, and leverage computational technologies for language documentation. The project will disseminate results through a physical and virtual museum exhibit, spanning the award period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. Gettysburg College, the primary awardee, will collaborate with sub-awardees on this research initiative.
