Excerpt from The Year Book of Modern Languages, 1920: Edited for the Council of the Modern Language Association The General Editor hopes that the first volume of the Year Sj i?oo of Modern Languages will be received with the indulgence: usually given to a new venture. He could have wished that the task of introducing it to the public had been undertaken by more competent hands, but sharing the opinion of the Council of the Modern Language Association that a Year r.Book ought to be one of its principal publications he decided to accept the responsibility. As originally designed, the Year Book was to include general articles on the progress of Modern Language study from 1914 to 1919, followed by special articles on the various languages, with select Bibliographies. In view of the relatively short period available for preparation it was impossible to enforce a uniform type of article on the contributors who kindly responded to the call for help, but the following general principles were laid down: (1) Original research should be reserved for the Modern Language Review. The Year Book is to be a plain record of work done and progress made. (2) In dealing with language and literature, contributors should give an account only of events or theories which have provided new matter for discussion, or contributed definitely to the advancement of learning. (3) Bibliographies should be select, only those publications being quoted which contain a definite contribution to knowledge, or are really worthy of recommendation. It was hoped that the interests of school teaching would be represented equally with those of University study, but the claims on the time of members of the former profession were clearly too serious to admit of contributions at such short notice. No doubt this defect in the present volume will be made good in future issues. There was also great difficulty in compiling an adequate panel of contributors from the ranks of University teachers.

The third edition of the MLA's widely used Introduction to Scholarship in Modern Languages and Literatures features sixteen new essays by leading scholars. Designed to highlight relations among languages and forms of discourse, the volume is organized into three sections. "Understanding Language" provides an overview of the field of linguistics, with special attention to language acquisition and the social life of languages. "Forming Texts" offers tools for understanding how speakers and writers shape language; it examines scholarship in the distinct but interrelated fields of rhetoric, composition, and poetics. "Reading Literature and Culture" continues the work of the first two sections by introducing major areas of critical study. The nine essays in this section cover textual and historical scholarship; interpretation; comparative, cultural, and translation studies; and the interdisciplinary topics of gender, sexuality, race, and migrations (among others). As in previous volumes, an epilogue examines the role of the scholar in contemporary society. Each essay discusses the significance, underlying assumptions, and limits of an important field of inquiry; traces the historical development of its subject; introduces key terms; outlines modes of research now being pursued; postulates future developments; and provides a list of suggestions for further reading. This book will interest any member of the academic community seeking a review of recent scholarship, while it provides an indispensable resource for undergraduate and graduate students of modern languages and literatures.

Relied on by generations of writers, the MLA Handbook is published by the Modern Language Association and is the only official, authorized book on MLA style. The new, ninth edition builds on the MLA's unique approach to documenting sources using a template of core elements--facts, common to most sources, like author, title, and publication date--that allows writers to cite any type of work, from books, e-books, and journal articles in databases to song lyrics, online images, social media posts, dissertations, and more. With this focus on source evaluation as the cornerstone of citation, MLA style promotes the skills of information and digital literacy so crucial today. The many new and updated chapters make this edition the comprehensive, go-to resource for writers of research papers, and anyone citing sources, from business writers, technical writers, and freelance writers and editors to student writers and the teachers and librarians working with them. Intended for a variety of classroom contexts--middle school, high school, and college courses in composition, communication, literature, language arts, film, media studies, digital humanities, and related fields--the ninth edition of the MLA Handbook offers New chapters on grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, numbers, italics, abbreviations, and principles of inclusive language Guidelines on setting up research papers in MLA format with updated advice on headings, lists, and title pages for group projects Revised, comprehensive, step-by-step instructions for creating a list of works cited in MLA format that are easier to learn and use than ever before A new appendix with hundreds of example works-cited-list entries by publication format, including websites, YouTube videos, interviews, and more Detailed examples of how to find publication information for a variety of sources Newly revised explanations of in-text citations, including comprehensive advice on how to cite multiple authors of a single work Detailed guidance on footnotes and endnotes Instructions on quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, and avoiding plagiarism A sample essay in MLA format Annotated bibliography examples Numbered sections throughout for quick navigation Advanced tips for professional writers and scholars
