Biography

Dogus Öksüz is a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, focusing on the relationship between language and cognition, particularly in the areas of language acquisition and processing. His work employs corpus analysis and psycholinguistic experimentation to address key research questions regarding the role of multiword expressions, such as collocations and idioms, in language processing. He investigates how language frequency influences processing, the impact of individual differences on language acquisition, and how the typological characteristics of languages affect processing. Currently, he is involved in a Leverhulme Trust funded research project exploring Linguistic Typology and Learnability in Language, alongside Dora Alexopoulou and Ianthi Tsimpli. Before joining Cambridge, he obtained his PhD from Lancaster University and worked as a Research Associate at the University of Leeds.
