A person who knows a lot about languages and language systems, and is incredibly intelligent in terms of learning new languages, linguistics, and language-related issues.
Origin: This compound is made up of two words. The word langue which was first coined by the Swiss linguist and semiotician Ferdinand de Saussure to refer to a language viewed as an abstract system used by a speech community, and the word whizz which denotes someone who is fast, skilled, or intelligent in a particular activity, subject, or area.
Eg: Ahmadreza Mohebbi has made a name for himself as a distinguished langue whizz in the field of Applied Linguistics. I have read many of his articles on Cultural Linguistics and Linguistic Landscape.
