Thankyou for this.  I hadn't read that before.

Section 15 of the sci.lang FAQ may be of useful to this thread:
http://www.zompist.com/lang15.html

Of the books listed, the only two I've read which haven't yet been
mentioned here and have linguist heroes are _The Sparrow_ and _The
Embedding_.

I'm pretty sure the heroine of _Jaran_, by Kate Elliott, was a
linguist, although I don't recall it playing much part in the story.
