Project Grant 2518582
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,889 Project Grant to The Ohio State University Office of Sponsored Programs under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The award will support research from October 2022 through November 2023 to better understand linguistic illusions and their cognitive basis. Specifically, the grantee will extend studies to a broader set of linguistic phenomena using behavioral and computational methods to analyze the exact conditions...
- 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 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 in funding to support an early career scientist developing a framework for process-level models of human language comprehension. The goal is to bridge the gap between human language behavior and computational models by analyzing incremental language processing behavior, particularly in response to imperfect input, and implementing models to...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $450,000 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) under the NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research on the cognitive mechanisms supporting the production of sentences involving recursion and displacement across different languages. The project aims to use structural priming...
- 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) award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $473,434 to Harrisburg University of Science and Technology to conduct research on cross-linguistic semantic priming effects in 45 languages and compare them to large language models. The project aims to build a large-scale dataset to understand how recognizing one word can improve recognition of a conceptually related word, known as semantic priming, and examine how...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program examines the relationship between information structure and syntax across diverse languages. The $237,402 award to The Ohio State University will investigate how context, word order, and emphasis affect language processing and understanding in conversational settings. The research methodology utilizes cognitive data, including eye-tracking, to study how different language structures are processed in the brain. The findings aim to advance psycholinguistic research and improve the contextual awareness of artificial intelligence models, including large language models. This research has potential benefits for biotechnology, neuroscience applications, and AI translation software development.
