- Description
- The MLA International Bibliography indexes critical scholarship on literature,
language,
linguistics, folklore, film, and the teaching of language and literature in journal articles,
series,
monographs, dissertations, bibliographies, proceedings and other materials. It includes more
than
2,000,000 citations drawn from 4400 journals and series and from 1000 book publishers. Indexing
of
e-journals, online bibliographies, electronic monographs, and scholarly Web sites is now included.
Coverage includes criticism and scholarship on literature from all over the world--Africa,
Asia,
Australia, Europe, and North and South America--but excludes Classical Greek and Latin, and other
"dead"
languages. Folklore is represented by folk literature, music, art, rituals, and belief
systems.
Linguistics and language materials range from history and theory of linguistics, comparative
linguistics,
semantics, stylistics, and syntax to translation. Other topics include literary theory and
criticism,
dramatic arts (film, radio, television, theater), and the history of printing and publishing. In
2000 MLA
indexers began coverage of the history, theory, and practice of teaching language, literature,
rhetoric
and composition at the college level, including professional and administrative issues.
It also includes critical writings on literature and human languages, including both natural
languages and invented
languages, e.g., sign language and Esperanto. Citations in a non-Roman alphabet are translated
into the Roman
alphabet. Citations from more than 60 languages are included.
The database also includes The MLA Directory of Periodicals, a listing of the journals
covered
by the MLA Bibliography, which includes subscription, submission, editorial, and other
useful
information.
Subjects Covered: Criticism, Drama, Folklore, Humanities, Language,
Linguistics, Literature, Film, Radio, Television, and the teaching of
Language, Literature, Rhetoric, and Composition at the college level.
