Polyglotism
Polyglotism or polyglottism is the ability to master, or the state of having mastered, multiple languages.
==Theories==
Numerous theories exist as explanations for polyglotism. For example, it has been recognized that someone who is interested in languages, with a sufficiently developed intellect, and who optimizes their learning technique with experience, will become increasingly efficient as each new language is learned; therefore, such an individual is able to master new languages with less effort than the average person. Also, different languages overlap in the areas of grammar and vocabulary, and this makes it easier to acquire connected languages, such as English and French words, or English and German words.
One theory suggests that a spike in a baby's testosterone levels while in the uterus can increase brain asymmetry, while others have suggested that hard work and the right type of motivation—which any adult can apply—are the key factors of polyglotism.〔Benny Lewis:
(Fluent in Three Months - Rapid Language Hacking ), presentation at TEDx San Antonio, 2011.〕 Neuroscientist Katrin Amunts studied the brain of German polyglot Emil Krebs and determined that the area of Krebs' brain that was responsible for language—the Broca's area—was organised differently in comparison to the brains of monolinguals.〔Amunts, Katrin; Schleicher, Axel; Zilles, Karl: "(Outstanding language competence and cytoarchitecture in Broca’s speech region )", ''Brain and Language'' 89.2 (June 2004):346-353.〕
