Truth/Peacocke: two versions:
(i) which is expressed in English by "what he said" when you know that the other person was telling the truth
(ii) in the sense how one can claim that ""it is boring" it is true" if someone expresses it at a time when he is bored.
ad (ii): can be expressed in existential quantification: "there is a sentence"
ad (i): cannot be expressed by (ii).
>Sense, >Proposition, >Meaning, >Sentence, >Description levels, >Levels/order, >Translation, cf. >Redundancy theory.
Solution: saying and truth (plus adequacy) must be defined in terms of the actual language.
>Language use, >Conventions/Lewis.
Problem: that involves semantic vocabulary.
(Chess: Winning must be defined externally; >Dummett),
>Semantics.

Truth/Tarski/actual Language/Peacocke: the concept of truth in this sentence schemes is not the general notion of truth (like e.g. the general concept of winning in the chess game).
cf. >Truth in L, cf. >Chess.
