The mediant is often thought of as a ''parallel'' or substitute for the dominant chord. The 5th of the mediant is the leading tone or 7th note of the scale, which tends to "want" to resolve to the tonic note. Thus, they often serve the same harmonic function of resolving to the tonic chord.

The supertonic is a parallel of the IV or subdominant chord, and can be used to substitute for it.

== A Minor ==
The submediant is a parallel of the tonic, having some of the same functionality; but without its resolution. Thus, the vi chord serves mostly as a transition between two chord groups.
