The term "clause" can refer to multiple concepts depending on the context. Here are a few common meanings:
1. **Grammar**: In linguistics, a clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. For example, "She reads books" is a clause with "She" as the subject and "reads books" as the predicate. There are two main types of clauses:
- **Independent Clause**: A clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence (e.g., "He enjoys jogging.").
- **Dependent Clause**: A clause that cannot stand alone and relies on an independent clause for its meaning (e.g., "Although he enjoys jogging").
2. **Legal**: In legal terms, a clause is a specific provision or section within a legal document, contract, or agreement that outlines particular terms and conditions. For example, a confidentiality clause specifies the obligations of parties regarding confidential information.
3. **Literature**: In literary analysis, a clause might be examined in terms of its function within a sentence or its impact on the overall meaning of a text.
