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 $449,534 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project focused on documenting endangered languages within diaspora communities. The project trains graduate students and faculty to mentor heritage undergraduate students in linguistic research and data analysis, with the goal of producing novel research publications on endangered languages. Key objectives include developing...
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 $238,206 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of a digital "Phonological Atlas" resource charting the phonological structures of an underexplored spoken language variety. The 5-year project, running from May 2025 to April 2030, will conduct linguistic interviews with 160 participants across different regions to investigate sound-based phenomena like phonemic...
This $424,019 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on the crosslinguistic components of clausal complementation. The project aims to investigate the linguistic variation in how different languages accomplish the embedding of one sentence within another. The research team will collect naturalistic language data through fieldwork with native speakers to document and describe the...
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 $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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $391,927 to document the morphologically complex endangered language spoken by elders in a community where it is in contact with another indigenous language. The key objectives are to create a digital corpus capturing the naturalistic use of the endangered language by fluent elder speakers and to analyze the language's directional systems expressed...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support a multi-year study analyzing the determinants that shape language restoration and development within communities. The research aims to provide empirical data to test current hypotheses and theoretical discussions on the emergence and formalization of language, including its grammatical forms,...
