MLAjärjestelmässä

MLAjärjestelmässä, often translated as "in the MLA system" or "within the MLA system," refers to the specific framework and guidelines established by the Modern Language Association. This system is primarily used in academic writing, particularly in the fields of literature, languages, and other humanities disciplines. Its core components include a particular style of in-text citation and a comprehensive Works Cited page.

The MLA in-text citation method involves briefly identifying the source of information within the body of the text. Typically, this includes the author's last name and the page number where the information can be found, enclosed in parentheses. For instance, (Smith 45) would indicate that the information comes from page 45 of a work by an author named Smith. This concise referencing allows readers to locate the full source details easily.

The Works Cited page, located at the end of a paper, provides a complete alphabetical list of all sources cited in the text. Each entry on the Works Cited page follows a strict format that includes specific elements such as the author's name, the title of the work, publication details, and access information if applicable. The MLA system aims to ensure academic integrity by giving credit to original authors and enabling readers to verify the research. Adherence to the MLAjrakenne is crucial for academic papers seeking to meet the standards of this widely recognized citation style.
