Project Grant 2524753
- 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 $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 $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 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'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...
- 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 $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 $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 $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 $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 $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 language contact, creole formation, and second language acquisition, the research aims to contribute to the understanding of how languages evolve over time. The project brings together academic researchers and language stakeholders to create educational resources and digital archives, and to engage youth in language documentation and linguistics training. This research aligns with NSF's mission to advance scientific understanding and promote linguistic vitality, and will produce machine-readable data infrastructure vital for training AI models. The award period runs from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2028.
