How to use the MLA reference style in-text citation for the three sources by the same author?
I am extracting the author's name and chapter' title as appeared in the authentic texts.
Dell Hymes On Communicative Competence
Dell H. Hymes Toward a Linguistic Competence
D. H. Hymes On Communicative Competence
1)http://www.aila.info/download/publications/review/AILA02.pdf#page=7
2) http://people.reed.edu/~lalzimman/LING212/PDFs/Hymes1972.pdf 3)http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/sgramley/Hymes-1.pdf
Hi,
Take a look at the Purdue University Online writing lab. In it they show the following,
"Citing multiple works by the same author
If you cite more than one work by a particular author, include a shortened title for the particular work from which you are quoting to distinguish it from the others. Put short titles of books in italics and short titles of articles in quotation marks.
Citing two articles by the same author:
Lightenor has argued that computers are not useful tools for small children ("Too Soon" 38), though he has acknowledged elsewhere that early exposure to computer games does lead to better small motor skill development in a child's second and third year ("Hand-Eye Development" 17).
Citing two books by the same author:
Murray states that writing is "a process" that "varies with our thinking style" (Write to Learn 6). Additionally, Murray argues that the purpose of writing is to "carry ideas and information from the mind of one person into the mind of another" (A Writer Teaches Writing 3).
Additionally, if the author's name is not mentioned in the sentence, you would format your citation with the author's name followed by a comma, followed by a shortened title of the work, followed, when appropriate, by page numbers:
Visual studies, because it is such a new discipline, may be "too easy" (Elkins, "Visual Studies" 63)."

I hope this helps.

Thank you
But My question is that, two of the work has the same titles:
Dell Hymes On Communicative Competence
D. H. Hymes On Communicative Competence
However the two work produced by the same author, they have the same title and different initial for the same authors.
Another enquiry, how to put the selective title for a work in an edited book? Should I deal with it as a book title or a journal article?
