Why Is John Ohala Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, John Jerome Ohala was a linguist specializing in phonetics and phonology. He was a Professor Emeritus in linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley. Career He received his PhD in linguistics in 1969 from the University of California, Los Angeles ; his graduate advisor was Peter Ladefoged. He is best known for his insistence that many aspects of languages' phonologies derive from physical and physiological constraints which are independent of language and thus have no place in the "grammar" of a language, i.e. what speakers have to learn inductively from exposure to the speech community into which they are born.
