For Donna Jo Napoli

January 19, 2011

Editor’s note: This article was initially published in The Daily Gazette, Swarthmore’s online, daily newspaper founded in Fall 1996. As of Fall 2018, the DG has merged with The Phoenix. See the about page to read more about the DG.

What? This video-column thingy still exists? Ooo, goody!

Even more exciting: this edition you̢۪ll get to pose questions to Donna Jo Napoli, unequivocally the best children̢۪s book-writing Linguistics professor at Swarthmore College, and also widely acknowledged as one of the top 10 best people of all time (look it up). Just post individual questions as comments to this post, and then give thumbs up to the questions you like.
