We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Word-Formation in Language Acquisition
As children acquire their first language, they learn how to form new words by compounding (e.g., from egg to plate to egg-plate), and by derivation with an affix (e.g., from pull to puller) or without one (e.g., from a sled to to sled). How and when do children learn the rules for word-formation? In earlier research, I proposed and tested six acquisitional principles that dealt with transparency of meaning, simplicity and regularity of form, productivity, conventionality, and contrast in meaning among the elements used for new words. The present research focuses on further predictions from these principles through (a) analyses of an extensive longitudinal corpus of innovative word-forms from one child, (b) cross-sectional studies designed to elicit, judge, and analyze novel words, and (c) cross-linguistic studies to collect cross-sectional data on Hebrew, and to explore the influence of productivity for both English- and Hewbew-speaking adults. These studies will be used to validate the six principles and assess their "weight' in determining order of acquisition.

Learning to Speak in Time: Perception and Production Processes Involved in Conversational Turn-Taking
Every conversation is made up of turns at speaking. Many people are surprised to learn that speakers take turns with very little time between speakers (gaps average ~200ms) with hardly any overlaps. This is true of conversation in languages around the world. Since there's no single clue to indicate when someone will finish speaking, listeners must track speech in real time and attend to a variety of cues to when a speaker will end. But what information do participants in a conversation rely on? This project investigates how children and adults take turns 'on time' by studying natural variation in how quickly speakers take their turns, and by measuring onlookers' eye movements as they watch videos of two people talking. This project will investigate how much participants' ability to anticipate the end of a turn relies on words vs. intonation and rhythm (prosody) in everyday speech. Words give information about content, and also about the structure of upcoming speech. Prosody is a continuous cue to how a phrase is structured, and also relates to the words in many cases. Because young children are good at differentiating between some prosodic patterns, but don't yet know much about words or syntax, we hypothesize that their use of cues will differ from adults'. This project will study turn-taking in natural conversations in order to identify the developmental path for this conversational skill. Conversation is the gateway for analyzing interaction with other social beings. For children, conversation is a way to learn about language and the world. Trivial skills for adults, such as knowing when to come in and how to ask relevant questions, take children years to develop. Understanding how children develop these skills should also shed light on how they gain access to the information all around them.
