This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $244,516 to document three languages with unusual grammatical structures in a multilingual region. The project aims to expand existing language databases and advance the understanding of language evolution, structure, and function. Key products will include grammars, lexicons, and transcribed texts, leveraging automatic speech recognition technologies....
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 $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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program will create crucial training datasets, predominantly optimized for speech recognition (speech-to-text), for three underrepresented American sociolinguistic contexts: a sociolect, a code-switching language context, and an indigenous language. The $1,051,622 award to the Mozilla Foundation, with a period of performance from Oct 1, 2024 to Apr 25, 2025, will...
This Project Grant award of $334,731 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will support research at George Mason University (GMU) to develop language technologies for data-scarce languages. The key objectives are to: Build datasets to explore the meta-linguistic capabilities of large language models. Leverage grammars to build large language models for new languages, similar to how humans learn second languages....
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $351,534 to Michigan State University to conduct research on sociolinguistic development in pre- and early adolescents. The project will leverage a novel audio diary method to create a large corpus of longitudinal adolescent speech data, which will be acoustically analyzed to test hypotheses regarding individual and community-level language change....
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. The project aims to build capacity and infrastructure to create effective, durable, and appropriate language-related technologies within indigenous communities. Key products and services include:...
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 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...
