As far I know, there is no such keyword like "string" in MIPS.

Declare a data storage reserving the amount of memory (max. string length). You did not specify the assembler you are using but according to http://logos.cs.uic.edu/366/notes/mips%20quick%20tutorial.htm[^] it might be:

            .data
string1:    .space    40    # max. length for string1 is 40 chars

See http://www.cs.umd.edu/class/sum2003/cmsc311/Notes/Mips/dataseg.html[^], or the documentation for whichever assembler you are using.
