This talk aims at giving a brief overview of the recent developments in the study of neural oscillatory mechanisms in language processing. Two main approaches will be reviewed. Firstly, it will be discussed how spatiotemporal dynamics of neural oscillations can be used as markers of neurocognitive linguistic processes. Secondly, cortical tracking (neural entrainment) of the temporal dynamics of speech will be addressed. Finally, it will briefly be addressed how these approaches have allowed to gain further insight into healthy language processing as well as into alterations in speech and language disorders.
