T-sentence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In truth-conditional semantics, a T-sentence is a sentence formed from a metatheory or metalanguage of a specific language that entails certain truth conditions for certain sentences of said language (commonly called the object language).[1] It can also defined as "the sentence giving the truth condition of a sentence of an object language."[2] They are typically of the form, "s is a true sentence of a language L iff X".[3]
