Truth is not a matter of definition.

Truth" is a word created by humans, so it must have some
definition (which might be implicit in the way it's used).
People may not agree upon what exactly is the correct definition,
but such a disagreement only shows that it's a matter of definition.

Definitions only tell which words we can use for the concept.
They do not tell what is true.

  To "tell what is true" is to give a definition of the meaning
  of the word "true".

  To "tell what is truth" is to give a definition of the meaning
  of the word "truth".

  Just look at the subject: It says, "Analytical truth redefined".
  This clarifies that the thread is about definitions (including
  redefinitions) of truth (more specifically, of "analytical truth").
