    Tasting Translated Fiction

    Translated fiction gives us the VIP treatment of armchair travelling by providing us with different approaches to story writing. Each language has its unique way of unravelling stories.

Today’s episode is called The Linguist and The Polyglot, where we discuss how advantageous it is for a linguist to be a polyglot. Linguists are, more often than not, thought to be students or professionals who learn many languages. While this is a misguided assumption, it isn’t rare for linguists to be polyglots. With us today, we have Dr Chinmay Dharurkar, a professor of Linguistics and Translation Studies. Moreover, he is a polyglot and speaks several Indian languages. Listen to him talk about his journey of becoming a polyglot and how it has helped him as a linguist.
