I'm not sure what your > symbol indicates here:
"Chord: {function} > {quality}?"
Chord quality indicates the elements of a chord in isolation: major, minor, diminished, augmented, dominant, added, suspended, etc.
C-E-G is a major chord. C-E-flat-G is a minor chord.
Chord function indicates the relationship a chord has to its key signature & musical context: tonic, subdominant, dominant, etc.
In a major scale: tonic (I), supertonic (ii), mediant (iii), subdominant (IV), dominant (V), submediant (vi), leading / subtonic (vii)
Example:
C (I) / Am (vi) / F (IV) / G (V)
The functions of each chord are:
C - tonic
Am - submediant
F - subdominant
G - dominant
Hope that helps!
