Project Grant 2450730
- This Project Grant award of $249,993 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports a research project at Georgetown University to examine language data and advance language infrastructure, knowledge, and theory. The project provides empirical data for developing and testing theories of language, which are important for understanding human cognition, and trains students in these methods. The research focuses on documenting and...
- This $244,516 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports a research project to document and analyze three languages with unusual grammatical structures. The goal is to expand existing language databases and advance the understanding of language evolution, structure, and function through comparative analyses. Key project outputs will include grammars, lexicons, and transcribed texts, leveraging...
- This $116,797 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to document, analyze, and revitalize a contact language that has undergone significant grammatical change. The project will record 40 hours of natural speech through sociolinguistic interviews and linguistic elicitation, transcribe and annotate the data, and develop an open-access digital corpus. Grounded in theories of...
- This $228,000.00 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project at Northwestern University examining the relationship between information structure and syntax across different languages. The three-year project, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to advance psycholinguistic research on how people process information and use language in real-world...
- 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 $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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $268,067 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) to advance linguistic research through the development of speech technologies. The key products and services delivered under this 2-year award, which runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027, include: Creation of benchmark datasets, comprehensive lexica, and advanced data...
- 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 $424,019 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports research on the cross-linguistic components of clausal complementation. The project aims to investigate the grammatical properties associated with clausal embedding across a variety of languages through linguistic fieldwork, including the collection of texts, stories, and linguistic data from native speakers. The resulting data corpus will...
- 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 of $217,969, provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a research project at the University of Washington investigating syntax across languages. The key products and services to be delivered include: Documenting and analyzing the syntax of a language through recordings of natural speech and speaker interviews to identify possible and impossible sentence structures. Transcribing and translating language narratives, then publishing them online with audio/video for public access and understanding. Incorporating new vocabulary from the recordings into an existing dictionary draft. Providing a comprehensive syntactic description of the language and publishing the full data corpus in a publicly accessible archive to enable future research. The project aims to advance the understanding of language structure and communication, with potential applications in linguistics, anthropology, education, and artificial intelligence. This 3-year research effort is scheduled to run from September 2025 to August 2028.
