College Composition / Unit 25 CMP 0605 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Author Named in the Sentence
Captions available
The idea
When a signal phrase names the author, the parentheses give only the page number.
In practice
"Becker points out that the senator's views changed during a personal visit" is followed by the page number alone in parentheses.
Where people slip
Do not repeat the author's name in the parentheses once the sentence has named them.
