This $319,688 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research at the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. on linguistic microvariation in complementizers and complementation. Over a three-year period from June 2022 to May 2025, the grantee will conduct detailed interviews with native speakers to rigorously document and analyze functional variation in complementizers—words like "that" which...
This $449,275 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to advance the scientific understanding of human language processing and change. The project, led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), combines expertise from linguistics, psychology, and computational approaches to investigate how language users integrate general language constraints and verb-specific preferences...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $220,100 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on when and how infants develop the ability to understand non-local syntactic dependencies in language. The 3-year project will use behavioral experiments to investigate how 18-month-old infants represent grammatical relationships between a fronted wh-phrase and a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $450,000 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) under the NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research on the cognitive mechanisms supporting the production of sentences involving recursion and displacement across different languages. The project aims to use structural priming...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $439,222 will fund research into the typology of subordinate clauses across languages at the University of Rochester from August 2022 to July 2025. The project has two main components. The first is a large-scale data collection effort using novel elicitation methods to study subordinate clause inferences in an under-resourced language. The second develops a computational model to identify semantic predicate classes across unrelated...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $550,000 supports research to evaluate computational models of infant language acquisition against experimental data on English- and Spanish-learning infants. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award will enable researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles to directly compare the output of different computational word segmentation models to infant behavioral data on the acquisition of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 provides funding from September 2024 to August 2026 to support an early career researcher's postdoctoral fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the sponsorship of Dr. Roger Levy. The research examines the role of non-systematic structures in natural language, investigating how widespread non-systematicity is in language, the circumstances under...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $182,694, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The award supports collaborative research to better understand the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition, including how individuals learn word morphology and phonology. The research activities aim to develop computational models and algorithms that can interpret the mental representations of words and the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $170,000 will support an early career postdoctoral researcher to conduct a cross-linguistic study of complex verbal predicates, specifically particle verb constructions, in four understudied languages. The goal is to advance scientific knowledge of verbal argument structures by providing crucial empirical data to test hypotheses about complex predicate structures and enrich...
This $326,292 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on the linguistic outcomes of language contact between an indigenous, endangered language and a socially dominant language in two distinct contact settings. The 3-year project, which runs from August 2024 to July 2027, examines the production and perception of questions, exploring how the different intonation strategies of the two...
