Document Summary
Mla: integrating in-text citations in your essay: the basics. Whenever you incorporate an in-text citation in your own writing, you must cite the author"s name and the page number of the original text where your citation appears. The following suggestions apply equally to quotations from a primary or a secondary source. So, to quote: select a phrase or group of words from your source, develop a signal phrase that will precede this quotation. In other words, the signal phrase + quotation = a complete sentence. Swift states there is a great advantage to his scheme (swift 18). Swift states there is a great advantage (swift 18). Ex: swift states there is a [significant] advantage in my scheme (swift 18). Make sure you use a grammatical signal phrase, but it can be either at the beginning of the quotation or at the end. Frankenstein declares (cid:498)you"re a wretch(cid:499) (cid:523)shelley (cid:884)(cid:885)(cid:886)(cid:524). (cid:498)you"re a wretch(cid:499) declares frankenstein (cid:523)shelley (cid:884)(cid:885)(cid:886)(cid:524).
