	Modern Language Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Modern Language Association of America (MLA) is the principal professional association in the United States for scholars of literature and literary criticism.
		The MLA was founded in 1883 as a discussion and advocacy group for the study of literature and modern languages (that is, all but the classical languages, most prominently Latin and Greek).
		It provides a website, the MLA Language Map, with overviews and detailed data from the United States 2000 Census about the locations and numbers of speakers of thirty languages and seven groups of less commonly spoken languages in the United States.

	MLA citation style
		MLA citation style refers to the rules and conventions established by the Modern Language Association for acknowledging sources used in a research paper.
		MLA citation style uses a simple two-part parenthetical documentation system for citing sources: citations in the text of a paper are used to point to an alphabetical Works Cited list that appears at the end of the paper.
		In MLA style, references to sources are placed in the text of the paper in order to briefly identify sources for readers and enable them to locate the source of the cited information in the Works Cited list.

	MLA Foreign Language Brochure
		Research has shown that math and verbal SAT scores climb higher with each additional year of foreign language study, which means that the longer you study a foreign language, the stronger your skills become to succeed in school.
		Studying a new language, reading other people's stories, and connecting with people in their own language can be a source of pleasure and surprise.
		Learning a language is not just learning grammar and vocabulary; it is learning new sounds, expressions, and ways of seeing things; it is learning how to act in another culture, how to know a new community from the inside.

		More recently, alongside this language of anxiety is a more practical effort to explore just how information technologies like the web can and will be integrated into current scholarship.
		There is a refreshing move to get beyond the extremes of either utopian or apocalyptic language surrounding the web to that of more thoughtful analysis, particularly in the area of literary criticism.
		The essential features are that the resulting file is a plain text file, the encoder determines which structures will be marked, and the content is separate from the presentation so that a single document can be presented and manipulated in a variety of ways.

	X. Modern Language Association (MLA) Style
		The Modern Language Association (MLA) is the official scholarly organization for students, teachers, professors, researchers, and others whose special study is language and the literatures of all languages (from English to Chinese and Spanish, from Arabic to Icelandic, Urdu and Xhosa).
		Since 1951, MLA has been publishing guidelines for style, including instructions on documenting the use of sources.
		MLA uses a parenthetical citation that always begins with whatever the first word is in the Works list for that source (usually the author's name) and then gives a page number (with no comma between the author and number and no abbreviation for page).

		Widely used by writers in literature, language studies, and other fields in the humanities, the MLA style of documentation allows writers to keep texts "as readable and as free of disruptions as possible" (143).
		In response to Victor Brombert's 1990 MLA presidential address on the "politics of critical language," one correspondent suggests that "some literary scholars envy the scientists their wonderful jargon with its certainty and precision and thus wish to emulate it by creating formidably technical-sounding words of their own" (Mitchell).

		The longer answer is that one of my more odious tasks at this year’s convention (one for which I volunteered, actually) involved reporting to the Delegate Assembly that the antiwar resolution they’d passed in 2003 was rejected by the Executive Council.
		What we can’t do, according to our constitution ("the object of the association shall be to promote study, criticism, and research in the more and less commonly taught modern languages and their literatures and to further the common interests of teachers of these subjects"), is to call for the withdrawal of troops.
		But I’m curious about what other people think about this-- both about the question of the scope of MLA resolutions (for those of you who care), and the question of withdrawing troops from Iraq and Afghanistan (might as well open the floor on the larger question as well!).
