Gottlob Frege on Correspondence Theory - Dictionary of Arguments

Husted V 104
FregeVsCorrespondence Theory: the meaning of an expression which is not a sentence must be explained starting with its contribution to the determination of the meaning.
V 104
FregeVsCorrespondence Theory: the expression is a contribution, not the object of the sentence. > Compositionality
.
V 105
FregeVsCorrespondence Theory: any attempt to define truth is a headless undertaking. If truth of a sentence were ownership of this or that property, then you would have to decide your own truth by deciding the truth of another sentence! (Regress). >Regress.
