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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $160,000 in funding over two years to support an early career postdoctoral researcher's investigation of linguistic tone patterns and tonal evolution in a typologically unique target language. The goal is to document the diversity of dialects and their tone systems, analyze how the dialects have evolved and diverged, and collect data for in-depth...
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...
This $285,326 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds a 3-year community-driven documentation project focused on critically endangered, rarely studied, and infrequently documented languages. The project aims to produce transcribed and translated narratives in an open-access, permanently archived collection, develop a research-enriched, community-based interactive multimedia learning site, and conduct...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $170,000 to support an early career postdoctoral scientist investigating the emergence of phonological structure in a family homesign system. The award, with a performance period from September 15, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will fund research comparing the linguistic capabilities and development of a family of deaf individuals who have created their own...
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 $326,292 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the linguistic outcomes of language contact between an indigenous, endangered language and a socially dominant language in two distinct contact settings. The project specifically examines the production and perception of questions, exploring how the different intonation strategies used by the languages collide in contact...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,299 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct research on the transfer of statistical learning from speech perception to production. The project aims to understand the mechanisms by which the brain coordinates listening and speaking, even when changes are subtle and not consciously identifiable. Preliminary data...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $182,694, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) to Rutgers, The State University. The grant, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, supports research focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition, particularly the learning of word morphology and phonology. The research aims to develop...
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...
