Truth and Meaning

چکیده
This article is not the first to go by the name "Truth and Meaning". It is preceded by a homonymously titled paper published by Donald Davidson in 1967, a seminal paper on the topic of truth-theoretic semantics for natural languages. It seems appropriate that "Truth and Meaning", (Davidson 1967) should loom large in this article. I will say something about previous work in the area, go on to discuss Davidson (1967) and related papers of his and then discuss some issues arising. I begin with the work of Gottlob Frege.
