Notes In MLA documentation style, you acknowledge your sources by keying brief parenthetical citations in your text to an alphabetical list of works (Bibliography) at the end of the pa
15、per. The parenthetical citation that concludes the following sentence is typical of MLA style. E.g., Ancient writers attributed the invention of the monochord to Pythagoras, who lived in the sixth century BC (Marcuse 2009: 197).The citation “(Marcuse 2009: 197)” tells readers that the information in
16、 the sentence was derived from page 197 of a work by an author named Marcuse. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Bibliography page, where under the name of Marcuse, they would find the following information:Marcuse, Sibyl. A Survey of Musical Instruments. New Yo
17、rk: Harper, 1975.The parenthetical citation works like this:(1) Mention your source (authors last name and page number) within the text of your paper in parentheses, like this:One of the great all-time best sellers, Uncle Toms Cabin, sold over 300,000 copies in America and more than 2 million copies
18、 world-wide (Wilson 2008: 3).(2) If you are quoting directly or if you want to stress the authority of the source you are paraphrasing, you may mention the name of the source in your sentence. Then include just the page number (or numbers) at the end in parentheses, like this:In Patriotic Gore, Edmu
19、nd Wilson tells us that Mrs. Stowe felt “the book had been written by God” (5).(3) If you must quote indirectlysomething quoted from another source not available to youindicate this in your parenthetical reference by using “qtd. in” (for “quoted in”). The following example comes from a book written
20、by Donald Johanson and Maitland Edey:Richard Leakeys wife, Maeve, told the pale anthropologist David Johanson, “We heard all about your bones on the radio last night” (qtd. in Johanson and Edey 2008: 162 ).(4) If you are using a source written or edited by more than three people, use only the name o
21、f the first person listed, followed by “et al.” (meaning “and others”). E.g., Blair et al. observe that the fine arts were almost ignored by colonial writers (2009: 21).It is observed that the fine arts were almost ignored by colonial writers (Blair et al. 2009: 21). (5) If you refer to more than on
22、e work by the same author, include a shortened title in the citation in your text like: e.g. It is noticed primary school pupils often make this mistake (Gould, Mismeasured 138).(6) If the authors name is not given, then use a shortened title instead. In your abbreviation, be sure to use at least th
23、e first word of the full title to send the reader to the proper alphabetized entry on your Bibliography page. The following is a reference to a newspaper article entitled “Ramifications of Baboon Use Expected to Become, an Issue”: The doctor observed that some people objected to the transplant on gr
24、ounds that were emotional rather than rational (“Ramifications” A23).(7) If you are quoting more than four typed lines, you shall indent the quotation 5 spaces on both sides and omit the quotation marks. Cite the page number in parentheses two spaces after the period. E.g., About Nora in Ibsens A Do

She does not walk through the door to find somebody else to live with and for; she is leaving the house more insecure than she ever realized she could be. But she hopes to find out who she is and why she is. She
26、 is facing with the problem of finding out her own identity. (2009: 263)2. BibliographyThe following models will help you write Bibliography entries for most of the sources you will use.
