I whanau a Langacker i Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, i whiwhi ia i tana Ph.D. mai i te Whare Wananga o Illinois i Urbana<unk>Champaign i te tau 1966. Mai i te 1966 tae noa ki te 2003, he kaiwhakaako ia mo te reo i te Whare Wananga o California, San Diego. Mai i te 1997 tae noa ki te 1999 i mahi ano ia hei perehitini o te International Cognitive Linguistics Association. Pātai: He aha te tau whakamutunga i whakaako ai a Langacker i te Whare Wananga o California?
Ko te tau 2003
