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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $449,534 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to document endangered languages through training and capacity building in diaspora communities. The key products and services to be delivered include: 1) Producing richly annotated, multipurpose language documentation materials to serve as the foundation for grammatical studies; 2) Conducting targeted studies of...
This $139,801 National Science Foundation project grant supports the University of Texas at Austin in documenting an endangered language variety spoken in rural villages. Over a two-year period ending June 2024, the university will interview native speakers to create a grammar of the traditional language and conduct detailed linguistic analysis. This work under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) aims to advance understanding of contact-driven linguistic...
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 $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 of $268,067, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075), supports the development of advanced speech technologies to advance linguistic research. Key activities include: Developing benchmark datasets, comprehensive lexica, and implementing advanced data processing techniques such as tokenization, lemmatization, and part-of-speech tagging for critical languages. These resources will be made...
This Project Grant award for $170,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports an early career postdoctoral researcher to conduct a cross-linguistic study of complex verbal predicates. The 2-year fellowship, beginning on January 1, 2025, will enable the researcher to investigate particle verb constructions in four understudied languages, with the goal of advancing scientific knowledge of verbal argument structures....
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 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...
