Project Grant 2537480
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $457,997 to Indiana University to build a 1.4-million-word syntactically parsed electronic corpus spanning 900 years of a single language. The corpus will allow researchers to investigate grammatical change and variation over time, as well as enable comparisons to similar developments in related languages. The project involves manual annotation of...
- 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...
- 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 $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 $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 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...
- The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania were awarded a $192,227 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund the acquisition of variation in child language learners project from September 1, 2021 through February 28, 2025. The project aims to contribute to understanding basic research and education in social, behavioral and economic sciences by monitoring and analyzing resources invested...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $425,748 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, to study how infants begin learning language. The project will use observational methods and computer modeling to evaluate infants' understanding of speech from their parents, with the goal of creating a large annotated database...
- 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) 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) provides $385,000.00 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to build comprehensive grammatically-analyzed text corpora spanning hundreds of millions of words and several centuries for historical language change studies. The project aims to address the high cost of manual annotation that has limited the size of existing syntactically-annotated corpora (treebanks) by leveraging advances in natural language processing and artificial intelligence to efficiently create large-scale annotated text collections. These new language resources will enable linguists to make novel discoveries about language evolution and also benefit researchers in other fields such as history, literature, and cultural studies. The manually annotated data developed through this project will also be valuable for natural language processing researchers. The award period runs from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2029.
