Why Is Edward Klima Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Edward S. Klima was an American eminent linguist who specialized in the study of sign languages. Klima's work was heavily influenced by Noam Chomsky's then-revolutionary theory of the biological basis of linguistics, and applied that analysis to sign languages.
