Re: Truth Bearer or Truth Maker

The more correct terminology is anyway
truth maker, you have to shift away the
 focus from the formula and think it is
a truth bearer, this is anyway wrong,
since you have two additional parameters
your "True" and your language "L".
 So all that we see here in expression such as:
 [~] True(L, [~] A)
 Is truth making, and not truth bearing.
In recent years truth making has received
some attention, there are interesting papers
concerning truth makers. And it has
 even a SEP article:
 Truthmakers
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/truthmakers/
 

Because the received view has never gotten past Quine's
nonsense rebuttal of the analytic synthetic distinction
no other expert on truth-maker theory made much progress.
{true on the basis of meaning expressed in language}
conquers any of Quine's gibberish.
A truth maker is any sequence of truth preserving operations
that links an expression x of language L to its semantic meaning
in language L. The lack of such a connection in L to x or ~x
means that x is not a truth-bearer in L.

A world of truthmakers?

This seems at least reasonably plausible yet deals with things besides
{true on the basis of meaning expressed in language}
