  http://web.stanford.edu/~eckert/PDF/eckert2006.pdf A relatively short explanation of Communities of Practice, their meaning and purpose. The writer also makes a comparison between Communities of Practice and a Speech Community. According to Eckert, "Communities of practice emerge in response to common interest or position, and play an important role in forming their members' participation in, and orientation to, the world around them."
