MLA (Modern Language Association) Style

The Modern Language Association (MLA) Style is a set of guidelines for writing and citing sources in academic work, particularly in the humanities. It helps writers maintain consistency and clarity in their papers, ensuring that sources are properly credited. Key features include using in-text citations with the author's last name and page number, a Works Cited page at the end of the document, and specific formatting rules for papers. MLA Style is commonly used in literature, philosophy, and language studies, promoting transparency in research and communication.
