Meaning before truth
... For example, I don’t think ‘France’ has the semantic correlate it would need to have, given a compositional theory of truth. But we shouldn’t conclude that there are no theories of meaning for natural languages. We should conclude that such theories are not theories of truth. Correlatively, the mean ...
