Just what _is_ a "logophile"?
from philo- (lover) + logos (word) we got philology, which is now much overloaded; so someone coined logophile to mean specifically 'word lover'.
here are some other interesting logo-words:
logodaedaly - playing with words; capricious coining of words
logolept - a word maniac
logology - the science of words
logomachy - contention about words; a war of words
logomisia - disgust with certain words
logorrhea - excessive and incoherent talking; diarrhea of the mouth
