Parenthetical Citations

          References in your paper must clearly point to specific sources in your list of Works Cited.
          In most cases, providing the author’s last name and the page number is sufficient: 
Medieval Europe was a place both of “raids, pillages, slavery, and extortion” and of “traveling merchants, monetary exchange, towns if not cities, and active markets in grain” (Townsend 10).
          If you have several works by the same author, also include the title (abbreviated if long):
(Frye, Double Vision 85).
          If no author is listed, use the title (shortened if long):
Voice of the Shuttle has many electronic sources.
          If using the title, remember to use correct punctuation: italicize book titles, use quotation marks for journal articles, short stories, book chapters, etc.
          The author’s name can be referred to within the sentence:
Tannen has argued this point (178-85).
        …or the author’s name can be referred to within the parenthetical reference:
This point has already been argued (Tannen 178-85).
