The standard way of using model-theoretic semantics for explicating the notion of non-logical truth will be found incompatible So, arguably, model-theoretic semantics is best viewed as interpretational semantics in the sense that it tells us what it is for a sentence to be true the truth-value of φ is determined by the interpretation of the non-logical symbols occurring in that sentence and, if there are any variables occurring in that Model-theoretic semantics gives us a non-holistic account of the meaning of The model-theoretic account of semantic holism, which has been developed elsewhere in greater detail, is based on Carnap's notion of an indirect interpretation It is furthermore doubtful whether methodological holism can be combined with a model-theoretic account of the meaning of the logical symbols in scientific language. ./cache/work_ftov44slgbbr3d4piixhr3h7dq.pdf ./txt/work_ftov44slgbbr3d4piixhr3h7dq.txt
