Manual MLA: Novena Edicion Adaptada Al Espanol

Por/btby Conxita Domenech, Andres Lema-Hincapie

Generations of writers have relied on the MLA Handbook, published by the Modern Language Association, for guidance on writing and on documenting sources. This new Spanish adaptation of the handbook is a comprehensive resource for Spanish-language writers of research papers and anyone citing sources, from business writers, technical writers, and editors to student writers and the teachers and librarians working with them. It establishes uniform, easy-to-follow guidelines that help writers craft clear and engaging prose, evaluate sources and accurately cite and credit them, and format research papers. It includes information on

* grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and numbers
* creating in-text citations, the list of works cited, and footnotes and endnotes
* quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing
* avoiding plagiarism

Guidance unique to this edition includes matters of punctuation in Spanish, from the serial comma to hyphens and dashes; capitalizing titles and subtitles in Spanish and styling Spanish surnames; the placement of other punctuation marks in relation to quotation marks; and more. In the Manual MLA, readers will find hundreds of new Spanish-language examples―including citations for books, journal articles, websites, films, and television shows.
