The MLA Handbook (8th ed., 2016), formerly the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (1977–2009) is a publication of the United States-based Modern Language Association. According to the organization, their MLA style 'has been widely adopted for classroom instruction and used worldwide by scholars, journal publishers, and academic and commercial presses'.[1]
The MLA Handbook began as an abridged student version of the MLA Style Manual. Both are academicstyle guides that have been widely used in the United States, Canada, and other countries, providing guidelines for writing and documentation of research in the humanities, such as English studies (including the English language, writing, and literature written in English); the study of other modern languages and literatures, including comparative literature; literary criticism; media studies; cultural studies; and related disciplines.[2] Released in April 2016, the eighth edition of the MLA Handbook (like its previous editions) is addressed primarily to secondary-school and undergraduate college and university teachers and students.[3]
MLA announced in April 2016 MLA Handbook will henceforth be 'the authoritative source for MLA style', and that the 2008 third edition of the MLA Style Manual would be the final edition of the larger work. The announcement also stated that the organization 'is in the process of developing additional publications to address the professional needs of scholars.'[4]Smashing pumpkins adore 320 rar.
The MLA Handbook grew out of the initial MLA Style Sheet of 1951[5] (revised in 1970[6][7]), a 28-page 'more or less official' standard.[8] The first five editions, published between 1977 and 1999 were titled the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations. The title changed to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers in 2003 (6th ed.).
The seventh edition's main changes from the sixth edition were 'no longer recogniz[ing] a default medium and instead call[ing] for listing the medium of publication [whether Print or Web or CD] in every entry in the list of works cited', recommending against listing URLs, and preferring italics over underline.[9] Additionally, the seventh edition included a website with the full text of the book.[10] Later online additions allowed for citation of e-books[11] and tweets.[12]
The eighth edition's main changes from the seventh edition are 'shift[ing] our focus from a prescriptive list of formats to an overarching purpose of source documentation'.[8] Released in spring 2016, it changes the structure of the works cited list, most directly by adding abbreviations for volumes and issues (vol. and no.), pages (p. or pp.), not abbreviating words like 'editor' or 'translator', using URLs in most instances (though preferring DOI, as in APA), and not favoring the medium of publication.[13]
