Semantic theory of truth

2609: 410:
Tarski himself defined truth for atomic sentences in a variant way that does not use any technical terms from semantics, such as the "expressed by" above. This is because he wanted to define these semantic terms in the context of truth. Therefore it would be circular to use one of them in the

These sentences (1 and 2, etc.) have come to be called the "T-sentences". The reason they look trivial is that the object language and the metalanguage are both English; here is an example where the object language is German and the metalanguage is English:

In the following, quoted text is use of the object language, while unquoted text is use of the metalanguage; a quoted sentence (such as " 1746: 887: 224:
containing ¬ ("not"), ∧ ("and"), ∹ ("or"), ∀ ("for all"), and ∃ ("there exists"), Tarski's inductive definition of truth looks like this:

Tarski, in "On the Concept of Truth in Formal Languages" (1935), attempted to formulate a new theory of truth in order to resolve the 2060: 2218: 1006: 81: 2073: 1396: 634: 2078: 2068: 1805: 1658: 1011: 73: 1002: 2214: 652: 605: 533: 1556: 192:(that is, it can describe the semantic characteristics of its own elements). But Tarski's approach was extended by 2311: 2055: 880: 1616: 1309: 748: 368: 1050: 453: 2648: 2572: 2274: 2037: 2032: 1857: 1278: 962: 824: 620: 420: 51: 130:

A contemporary semantic definition of truth would define truth for the atomic sentences as follows: 2589: 2538: 2435: 1933: 1894: 1371: 1016: 844: 814: 809: 480: 336: 1045: 419:. It is a rather controversial point whether Tarski's semantic theory should be counted either as a 2430: 1899: 1751: 1734: 1457: 937: 465: 2262: 2239: 2200: 2086: 2027: 1673: 1593: 1437: 1381: 994: 502: 2552: 2279: 2257: 2224: 2117: 1963: 1948: 1921: 1872: 1756: 1691: 1516: 1482: 1477: 1351: 1182: 1159: 517: 416: 396: 392: 181: 35: 411:
