1 Introduction The right hemisphere plays an important role in speech prosody and music processing, with lateralized functions for pitch, meter, and melody recognition among other features [1−3]. While the left hemisphere shows a high specialization for language, the right one is thought to contribute more to the perception and production of speech prosody [4−6].

Abstract While a growing body of literature exists on initial word-to-meaning mapping and retrieval of fully lexicalized words, our understanding on the learning of semantic knowledge that occurs between these two stages remains limited. The current study investigated the neural correlates of retrieving newly learned word meanings using oscillatory brain dynamics.
