antecedent

1. grammar : a substantive word, phrase, or clause whose denotation is referred to by a pronoun that typically follows the substantive (such as John in "Mary saw John and called to him") broadly : a word or phrase replaced by a substitute.

If the answer to the antecedent phrase begins with the same rhythm and pitches, the response is called a parallel consequent. An example of this would be the Ode to Joy theme in Beethoven's Symphony No 9. You could describe the antecedent and consequent phrases as one long-phrase.

An example would be "When Edgar Allen Poe wrote 'The Pit and the Pendulum', he was referring to the French Revolution." In that sentence, Edgar Allen Poe is the antecedent for "he." Consequents are part of conditional sentences and they describe something caused by something else.

a substantial musical thought A phrase is a substantial musical thought, which ends with a musical punctuation called a cadence. Phrases are created in music through an interaction of melody, harmony, and rhythm. Terms such as sentence and verse have been adopted into the vocabulary of music from linguistic syntax.

It is also known as a referent. Antecedents are used to clarify what or who a pronoun is referring to in a sentence, and without one, a sentence may be incomplete or meaningless. For example, in the phrase “He needs to go outside,” he could be a dog or a person who's been stuck in the house all day.

Antecedent phrases are inconclusive. At the end of an antecedent phrase, the music sounds interrupted and never finished; it leaves us unsatisfied demanding more. It leaves us hanging. A good example of this is the beginning of Symphony No 40 in G minor by Mozart.

Antecedent phrases are inconclusive. At the end of an antecedent phrase, the music sounds interrupted and never finished; it leaves us unsatisfied demanding more. It leaves us hanging. A good example of this is the beginning of Symphony No 40 in G minor by Mozart.

The antecedent and consequent are itemsets, which are sets of items. In other words, the antecedent is a combination of items that are analyzed to determine what other items are implied by this combination. These implied items are the consequent of the analysis.

Musical phrasing (expressive playing) is the intentional combination of the four elements. For example, in a moment of music, we could slow down, get louder, and play with a warmer tone quality. This will create a particular effect. We could likewise do the opposite and the effect would be far different.

You'll usually see an antecedent as the noun or noun phrase. Keep in mind that it does not always appear before the pronoun in a sentence, even though the definition of an antecedent outside of grammar is “earlier.” However, if the antecedent is a name, then you will see it appear before the pronoun.

The noun or noun substitute that a pronoun refers to is called its antecedent. For example, in the sentence: Chelsey finished her presentation, "Chelsey" is the antecedent and "her" is the pronoun.
