French MLA -Yes, it’s a thing.
You’re all citation experts at this stage of your academic careers, right? No, well…. that’s ok. For this particular assignment, we want you to create a basic Works Cited list, or as they say… “Ouvrages Cités”
Most of the rules for MLA in English are the same in French.
- All sources are listed in alphabetical order
- You use a hanging indent for the 2nd/3rd lines of each citation.
- Your title is centred, with no special font stylings.
There are some different formatting concerns to be aware of though. Namely….
- Guillemets are used instead of Quotation Marks.
- In Microsoft Office or Google docs, use the following codes to insert your guillemets.
- «Alt + 174
- »Alt + 175
- In Microsoft Office or Google docs, use the following codes to insert your guillemets.
- Use the accepted format for dates. Not capitalized with proper punctuation marks.
- Remember that when in doubt, there is not a lot of support online for MLA citation in French. The Laurier Library is working on creating a comprehensive guide to help students with their citations en français.
Follow the slides below to see what a citation should look like, based on the sorts of resources we’ll show you today.
The French Research Guide can also be found here.
