Dr Dogus Oksuz’s PhD was titled Collocational Processing in Typologically Different Languages, English and Turkish: Evidence from Corpora and Psycholinguistic Experimentation. It combined extensive analysis of corpus data with a series of psycholinguistic experiments to examine how linguistic typology affects processing in English and Turkish by native and non-native speakers of these languages.
