	Lingua franca
		Lingua Franca (Italian meaning "Frankish language") or Sabir ("to know") was an early pidgin language, used in the Mediterranean area from the 14th century or earlier and still in use in the 20th century.
		According to the monogenetic theory of the origin of pidgins pioneered by Hugo Schuchardt[?], Lingua Franca was known by Mediterranean sailors including the Portuguese.
		Through a process of relexification[?], the Lingua Franca and Portuguese wordstock would be substituted by the languages of the peoples in contact.

	Musica Franca: buoyant Baroque bassoon
		Known for an inspired synthesis of French and Italian styles, Musica Franca is dedicated to performing the lush compositions written for bassoon and continuo during the baroque period—in particular the work of composers Michel Corrette and Joseph Bodin de Boismortier.
		Musica Franca easily captures the playful, inventive spirit of Corrette's compositions, with many of the movements displaying the all-or-nothing passion that characterized much of his work.
		Instrumentation is varied — sometimes even within the same piece — in order to bring out the widest range of tonal colors, and Musica Franca performs the music in the same spirit of pleasure as many musicians of the 18th century: light, nimble interpretations performed with both nuance and joy.

	A Glossary of Lingua Franca
		Apart from a few curious and tantalizing quotes of this kind, Lingua Franca seemed to be lost forever, since it died before the advent of the tape recorder or of anthropologists anxious to record a moribund form of human speech, however bizarre, and even laughable, it may have seemed.
		It began to falter shortly after the arrival of the French in Algeria in 1830, and by the time Schuchardt began to study it at the end of the nineteenth century it was already virtually extinct, although it was probably still well-known to older folk..
		And -- in my humble opinion -- a startling clue to the lost Lingua Franca language, which, as the Archbishop of Palermo declared in the seventeenth century, was once known in every house in the great cities a short hop away across the blue Mediterranean.

	Who Killed Lingua Franca?
		November 5, 2001 — The death, two weeks ago, of Lingua Franca, the great magazine about intellectual and literary life in the academy, was not only sad news for the magazine's followers and admirers — it was a shock.
