What are the rules for capitalizing titles in citations for a Spanish assignment?
Answer
Spanish uses MLA citation. While MLA usually requires that every major word in a title be capitalized, Spanish writing and citing has different rules for title capitalization.
Capitalize only the first word of the title unless it is a proper noun. For example, a person’s name, a book title, short story, or poem.
- El invierno de nuestro desazón or Cuentos de Eva Luna
- “El pachuco entre Octavio Paz y el trayecto para su reinvención en Zoot Suit de Luis Valdez”
