| Redundancy theory: comprises the thesis that nothing is added to a true sentence when it is said that it is true. In other words, each sentence asserts its own truth; the appending of the truth predicate "is true" would thus be redundant. See also judgment, truth theory, truth definition, deflationism, minimalism, disquotationalism, all that he said is true, predication._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Grover, D. L. on Redundancy Theory - Dictionary of Arguments
Horwich I 319 Redundancy TheoryVs/VsProsentential Theory/CGB/Camp, Grover, Belnap: problem: index words: John: "I'm greedy." Mary: "This is true". Here it is not clear if Mary utters a mere repetition. Problem: "every word of Mark could be true": there is no verb for "could". I 342 Redundancy Theory/Prosentential Theory/CGB: GroverVsRedundancy Theory/CGBVsRedundancy Theory: the Prosentential Theory does not show that "is true" is redundant! Not as long as it is involved in prosentences, but rather when it is isolated. >Truth predicate, >"Everything he said is true". >Prosentential theory._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
