[lg policy] how to organise this style

[Anthea Fraser Gupta]

Don't forget that there is a difference between a reprint and a new edition. The date of a reprint doesn't matter as the text is the same, but a new edition includes some re-writes.

If you want to discuss her views in the historical context of the subject and at the same time reflect her current thinking, you could do something like:

"Myers-Scotton first developed the concept in 1993 (Myers-Scotton 1993) and has continued to refine it." Then refer to her very latest work to discuss it. I would list both editions separately.

You can get into problems with later editions, because someone else can be using the concept in, say, 1995, perhaps disagreeing, and it makes it look as if they are responding to something in the future.

hi,
It can be Myers-Scotton' book or any other book , the idea is not the book but rather how to quote the author from a book with two edition dates .

all the best

Mostari,
Why don't you ask Carol Myers-Scotton herself.  You should find the address above. CBPaulston

Hi everybody ,
I will appreciate rapid answer from your part :

well , I have a book of Myers-Scotton (1993) and I have the 2nd edition (1997) .
I know that in the bibliography , I should write Myers-Scotton (1993 ) ..........[1997 reprint]
but , the problem raises within my work, shall I write :
Myers-Scotton (1993) states : "........................"
or rather :  Myers-Scotton (1997) ?

I did not find an anwer from the MLA site .

I am looking forward to reading your anwers .

all the best
