A frequent function of the paralexicon is secrecy. […] Sometimes the paralexicon is acquired during childhood as a first language, Ma'a [a paralexicon of Mbugu] for example. In many cases it is acquired later, such as registers of respect, initiation languages and languages created by adolescents.

समानान्तर शब्दावलीको एक सामान्य कार्य गोपनीयता हो। कहिलेकाहीँ यसलाई बाल्यकालमै पहिलो भाषाका रूपमा सिकिन्छ, जस्तै मा'आ। धेरै अवस्थामा यो पछि सिकिन्छ, जस्तै आदरका शैली, दीक्षाका भाषा र किशोरहरूले बनाएका भाषाहरू।
