Doğuş Öksüz is a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, focusing on the intersection of language and cognition, particularly in language acquisition and processing. He utilizes corpus analysis and psycholinguistic experimentation to explore critical research questions regarding the role of multiword expressions, such as collocations and idioms, in language processing. His research investigates how frequency of use influences language processing, how individual differences affect acquisition and processing, the nature of implicit learning mechanisms, and how typological characteristics of languages impact processing. Currently, he is part of a Leverhulme Trust-funded project examining Linguistic Typology and Learnability in Language, collaborating with Dora Alexopoulou and Ianthi Tsimpli. Before joining Cambridge, he earned his PhD from Lancaster University and held a research associate position at the University of Leeds. His published works include studies on collocational processing and its effects in first and second language learning, demonstrating significant insights into the mechanisms behind language acquisition.
