About

Nancy Chang’s research bridges computational linguistics and robotics, with a focus on formal grammars and kinematic modeling. Her most cited work, “Computational Construction Grammar: Comparing ECG and FCG” (2012, 61 citations), provides a foundational analysis of two major frameworks in construction grammar—Embodied Construction Grammar (ECG) and Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG)—offering insights into their computational implementations and theoretical underpinnings. This contribution has been influential in cognitive science and natural language processing. In robotics, Chang’s 2016 paper “Comparison between Standard and Modified Denavit-Hartenberg Methods in Robotics Modelling” (21 citations) clarifies the subtle differences in link and joint numbering conventions between the two widely used Denavit-Hartenberg parameterization approaches, aiding researchers in selecting appropriate kinematic models for manipulator design. Her work demonstrates a unique ability to synthesize complex formalisms across disciplines, making her a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring the intersection of language, computation, and robotics.
