Tarskian

The heart of a Davidsonian theory of interpretation is, of course, a Tarskian truth theory.

Donald Davidson Malpas, Jeff 2009

The formal structure that Tarski articulates in his ˜semantic™ account of truth is identical to that which Davidson explicates as the basis for a theory of meaning: a Tarskian truth theory can generate, for every sentence of the object-language, a T - sentence that specifies the meaning of each sentence in the sense of specifying the conditions under which it is true.

Donald Davidson Malpas, Jeff 2009

Nor, for all that he adopts a Tarskian approach to meaning, does he espouse a correspondence theory of truth.

Donald Davidson Malpas, Jeff 2009

This entails a limitation of the Tarskian T-schema, and a fallback into a rigid distinction between an object language and its metalanguage.

Dialetheism Priest, Graham 2008

Their paradoxical characteristics, as dialetheists stress, are due exactly to the intuitive features of ordinary language: unavoidable self-reference; failure of metalinguistic hierarchies producing only languages that are expressively weaker than English; and the obvious presence of a truth predicate for English, ˜is true™, which is characterized (at least extensionally) by the Tarskian T-schema.

Dialetheism Priest, Graham 2008

After Gödel's and Tarski's well known formal procedures to obtain non-contextual self-reference in formalized languages, it is difficult to draw a sharp line between the two families (among other things, because of the fact that Tarskian semantics is itself framed in set-theoretic terms).

Dialetheism Priest, Graham 2008

In a Tarskian language hierarchy, the sentence N would have to be on a higher level than all of Jones 'utterances, and, conversely, the sentence J would have to be on a higher level than all of Nixon's utterances.

Self-Reference Bolander, Thomas 2008

Tarskian semantical notions play the role of the higher types hinted at by Gödel.

Paradoxes and Contemporary Logic Cantini, Andrea 2007

The truth content AT of a false theory A (itself a theory in the Tarskian sense) will clearly be closer to the truth than A (diagram 1).

Truthlikeness Oddie, Graham 2007

Anti-realist theories of truth, like the realist ones we discussed in section 4.1, can generally make use of the Tarskian apparatus.
