- 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 $240,470 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) aims to investigate evidential markers - the grammatical coding of information source and speaker's perspectives - across different languages. The project's goal is to create treebanks/universal dependencies corpora to develop an automated deep-learning natural language processing (NLP) model that can extract information from texts...
- This $155,811 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports research on how people adapt to and track patterns in language reference and interpretation. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is conducting this research project from March 2025 to August 2028. The study aims to examine how humans develop robust mechanisms for understanding language in context by tracking patterns in reference, such as...
