Look up protasis in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
In linguistics, a protasis is the subordinate clause (the if-clause) in a conditional sentence. For example, in "if X, then Y", the protasis is "if X". The other clause ("then Y") is called the apodosis.
In logic, the apodosis corresponds to the consequent, the protasis to the antecedent.
