matrix clause (cxn)
a.k.a.
the clause in a complex sentence construction that also contains a dependent clause; the dependent clause is a dependent of the matrix clause. Example: in She watered the plants before she ate lunch, She watered the plants is an instance of a matrix clause; before she ate lunch is a dependent clause. A matrix clause is often, but not always, a main clause; it may be a subordinate clause that is itself dependent on another matrix clause.
