Abstract
•How sequence learning relates to language operations remains controversial.•Empirical evidence in humans and comparative studies clarifies and constrains links.•Neural oscillatory sequencing resembles language operations in time.•We extend a relational knowledge hypothesis of language evolution.•Ancestral neural system is integrated with analogous temporal functions in language.
