	LINGUIST List 4.108: Subject/Object Asymmetry and Idioms
		I wonder if a similar problem arises with the use of language games as evidence for phonological analyses, which have taken on great importance in some recent work.
		It is not a priori clear that backslang, for example, is relevant to the phonology of English.
		Language games are a meta- linguistic activity, like drawing tree structures or metrical grids, and whether they reflect internalized phonological representations is a substantive question.

		Lingua Franca was used from the Middle Ages until the nineteenth century, when it disappeared from use leaving only this vestigial trace.
		Parlari, as it survives, partakes of numerous sources including Lingua Franca, Romani (the language of the Gypsies) "Shelta" or "Gammon" (the cant of the Irish tinkers [now called the Irish Travelers]), bits of Yiddish, Cockney rhyming slang and the less well-known Cockney backslang.
		It survived among several populations that share certain characteristics: they are (for the most part) traditionally itinerant, lower-class, and share a need for a private vocabulary unintelligible to outsiders.
