community of practice

[Miriam Meyerhoff]

Thanks for the reference to work in Portuguese, Ana.

If people have references to work they have done, 
or know of, using the communities of practice 
framework in on on languages OTHER THAN ENGLISH, 
Saskia Corder and I would be grateful for the 
references. (We are interested in the framework 
itself, the work need not be restricted to 
studies of language and gender, eg studies of 
workplaces, family interaction etc)

If you reply directly to me, I will post a summary to the list.

Thanks, Miriam
