What we\u2019re predicting is where things may diverge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Children often mishear from their parents and innovate with one another, until those innovation becomes part of the common vernacular \u2013 such as using a so-called \u2018double-negative\u2019 in colloquial English which often serves to emphasize a negative in dialects that have them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrench is filled with double negatives. English is not,\u201d Merchant said. \u201cSo what we\u2019re looking at is the transformation of English into something a little more French-like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The grant covers the development of the computer software as well as collaborations with universities in Santa Cruz, Calif.; San Diego, Calif.; Verona, Italy; Calgary, Canada; and Rutgers, N.J. Merchant will travel to other institutions to work on the linguistics software before inviting all the collaborators to Eckerd College for a miniconference in two years.<\/p>\n<p>Annalise Kendrick \u201921, a <a href=\"\/psychology\/\">psychology<\/a> and <a href=\"\/psychology\/\">mathematics<\/a> double major from Littleton, Colo., and\u00a0Thomas Haines \u201920, a <a href=\"\/computer-science\/\">computer science<\/a> major from Englewood, Colo., were hired to serve as Merchant\u2019s student research assistants.<\/p>\n<p>Annalise previously worked on psychology research with <a href=\"\/psychology\/faculty\/goodman-wilson\/\">Assistant Professors of Psychology Miranda Goodman-Wilson<\/a> and <a href=\"\/psychology\/faculty\/rowland\/\">Chris Rowland<\/a>. She met Merchant at a math social and discovered their common interest in linguistics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be great to do something more with math than just solving an equation before me. To creatively use math to understand something else sounded like a challenge I wanted to pursue,\u201d Annalise explained.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas was recommended for the grant assistantship by his mentor <a href=\"\/computer-science\/faculty\/debure\/\">Professor of Computer Science Kelly Debure<\/a>. \u201cIt was very exciting to be recommended and to get involved with on-campus research,\u201d Thomas said.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the grant period, Merchant hopes to have the framework of computational software that has analyzed the changes in languages over time that can then predict likely changes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;] [divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;24&#8243;][image_with_animation&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":3767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,87,50,69,74,85],"tags":[253,252],"class_list":{"0":"post-3766","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-awards","9":"category-computer-science","10":"category-mathematics","11":"category-psychology","12":"category-research","13":"tag-grant","14":"tag-nsf"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) -
