Donna Jo Napoli, Professor of Linguistics

 

 

I haven't met an area of linguistics yet that doesn't facinate me. Right now I'm working on sign languages and cognitive issues that arise from their linguistic analysis, but I'm equally engaged in developing materials to help deaf children in North America and Italy learn to read.
