A linguist in the academic sense is a person who
studies
linguistics.
Ambiguously, the word is sometimes also used to refer to a
polyglot
(one who knows more than 2 languages), or a
grammarian, but these two
uses of the word are distinct (and one does not have to be a
polyglot in order to be an academic linguist). The word
linguistician is also used by some people to refer to one who
studies linguistics, in order to avoid this ambiguity, although
this word is rare, and generally disliked by those in the field.
