Term | Definition |
---|---|
antecedents | An antecedent is a thing that comes before something else. You might think rap music has no historical antecedent, but earlier forms of African American spoken verse go back for centuries. |
analyze | Analyze means to study or examine something carefully in a methodical way. If you analyze your child's report card, you may determine his strength and weaknesses (and how many times he cut class). |
apposition | When you put two things right next to each other, you can call that apposition. The apposition of your dog and your cat makes an adorable photograph. |
argument | An argument is a disagreement between two or more people, but it can also be a statement backed by evidence, like your argument that your school doesn't need a dress code. |
audience | An audience can be people watching a performance, or an opportunity to speak with someone important, like an audience with your favorite actor at a "meet and greet" event. |
citation | If you hear you’re getting a citation, wait before bragging about it. A citation can be an official award, but it can also mean something less thrilling, like a summons to appear in court. |
claim | When you express your right to something, you're making a claim to it, like telling your sister, "This bowl of cereal is mine." |
