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.

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. If the notion of meaning can be reduced to that of truth, that is
