- 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 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 $261,181 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will support a multi-year study by the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) analyzing the determinants that shape language restoration and development within communities. The project will utilize linguistic analysis, observation, interviews, participatory methods, and digital network analysis to track how language is introduced and emerges as a mode of communication. The findings...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) awarded a $686,700 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) to advance documentary and theoretical linguistics through the study of Creole languages. The 5-year award, effective July 1, 2025, supports an international research team that will annually engage six U.S. undergraduate and graduate students in 5-week field research trips to Creole-speaking...
- This $249,315 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program seeks to establish a central, searchable, and lasting digital platform that provides accessibility to language resources and supports the development of AI models. The University of Colorado Colorado Springs will lead this interdisciplinary effort to gather and analyze language data, create educational materials, and archive linguistic materials to...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $104,114 to Haverford College to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying human language learning. The research aims to better understand how people construct mental representations of words and learn the morphological and phonological patterns that govern language. The project will develop interpretable computational models and algorithms...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $106,179 to the University of Arizona to advance the development of technologies that support documentation and revitalization of endangered indigenous languages.
