1. 1. Babel No More

   The Search for the World's Most Extraordinary Language Learners

   

   An exploration of hyperpolyglots and the science, history, and sociology of multilingualism that chronicles interviews with people who speak extraordinary numbers of languages while examining cognitive, neurological, and cultural factors that enable (or limit) such feats. It blends personal stories, linguistic research, and historical examples to probe whether talent, memory techniques, environment, motivation, or structured study best explain rapid acquisition, and reflects on broader issues of linguistic diversity, translation, and the human urge to communicate.
