Secondary supertonic chord

Secondary supertonic chord: ii7/V - V/V [- V] in C major (a7 - D7 [- G])  Play .

In music theory, the secondary supertonic chord or secondary second, is a secondary chord, but rather than being on the dominant it is on the supertonic scale degree and rather than tonicizing a degree other than the tonic, as does a secondary dominant, it creates a temporary dominant.[1] Thus the progression {\frac {ii}{V}}.

Examples include ii7/III (Fmin.7, in C major).[2]
