All words
have the "taste" of a profession, a genre,
a tendency, a party, a particular work, a particular
person, a generation, an age group, the day and hour.
Each word tastes of the context and contexts in which
it has lived its socially charged life; all words and
forms are populated by intentions.
Mikhail Bakhtin The Dialogic
Imagination
"What makes a knowledge-building
community distinct from a task-based learning community.
. . . Task-based learning community members create a collection,
an anthology, a lesson plan, a set of procedures, or a
publication that is finished. It can be read or used by
others but does not invite republishing, amendments, or
modifications. The task-based community often disbands
after the product is designed.
