The actual answer and reason why he’s an intellectual giant in the west is he made a significant contribution to the field of linguistics. I even studied him briefly in college because the Chomsky hierarchy is useful for understanding programming language theory and development, and notably Chomsky was not a computer scientist. It’s rare to have cross-discipline reach.
