Congratulations Prof. Kyle Gorman
We are pleased to announce that Kyle Gorman is the recipient of a 3-year Collaborative NSF Grant titled: Deconstructing Wordlikeness Judgments with collaborators Karthik Durvasula, Michigan State and Jimin Kahng, U. Mississippi. In addition to analyzing different computational models to explain why it is that people rate nonce words on a gradient scale of acceptability, the project provides mentoring and research training opportunities for graduate students in modern experimental and computational methods, and will create an open-access, online database of the project's experimental results that serves as a resource for other researchers in the language sciences.
