NEW TRENDS IN AMERICAN PSYCHOLINGUISTICS 147 formulatic thank you's that children must say at the end of the meal. In the US, children do not say thanks for the meal, but there is a special formula that only children use when want to leave the table : may I please be excused.) Conclusion In talking about primate language, sign language, aphasia, and children's language I have admittedly covered very quickly a number of fields that have extensive literatures, and undoubtedly these remarks have reflected my own biases rather than all of the concerns each of them embodies. I have selected them because of my own research interests and because, with the exception of the primate studies, they are all areas in which more research in Hungarian would be welcomed. While these rather extraordinary fields of study may seem far removed from the central concerns of linguistics, this is not the case : each of them provides special data and poses certain questions that ultimately must inform linguistic theory, and in turn be accounted for by it.
