While Missy was driving to work, she saw a deer by the roadside. She slowed down to watch the deer for a short time, then continued on her way to work. Even when Sally was able to, she did not bother to finish her ASL project. Clerc met with Gallaudet to prepare for the Congressional meeting scheduled for the next day. The next night was very dark and stormy. Of course, it was Halloween night! "Next, please," the lady called when it was my turn to go up to the booth to have my paycheck cashed. Bobby's broken ankle will heal in time for the Maryland Deaf Festival. That house felt very creepy inside; meanwhile, it was sunny outside. Eventually, Sally got tired of John calling her on the TTY all the time since she was not interested in him. She was still asleep when I got back home from work.

the mail. If a $20 check accompanied the questionnaire, 78 percent of the physicians filled out the questionnaire and sent it back as requested.

Another interesting finding concerned the physicians who got the check up front but didn't comply with the questionnaire request: only 26 percent cashed the check (as compared to 95 percent of those who had complied).

But the only plausible general analysis of truth is in terms of stating or asserting things: "One who makes a statement or assertion makes a true statement if and only if things are as, in making that statement, he states them to be" (Strawson 1970: 15). Which is to say that the analysis must be made in terms of communication, which must be cashed à la Grice. Thus, although the letter of truth-conditional semantics may be unobjectionable, its spirit is broken, for it collapses into Griceanism rather than standing as a superior alternative. First reply Whether or not we have an accepted general philosophical analysis of truth, we have the concept expressed by the ordinary English word "true," and we also have the formal structure introduced by Tarski, which generates T-sentences
