A whole body of {linguistic truth} can be defined as expressions

in this same language.

Expressions that can only be known to be true on the basis

Linguistic things should be discussed in sci.lang.
This group is for things related to logic.

The actual foundation of logical and mathematical truth

truth.

I don't think logicians want to use the word "linguistic" for anything
in foundations of logic.

I don't care. When I refer to analytic truth most everyone
says that has been disavowed by Quine and the conversation
dies right there.

The most apt name for truth specified by relations between
finite strings is linguistic truth. Truth that requires sense
data form the sense organs become empirical truth.

This converts the analytic/synthetic distinction into the

can STFU !

The problem is that you don't seem to understand the concept of domain of discussion (or context).

Quine is talking about the limitation of Natural Language to discuss concepts, that BECAUSE words can have ill-defined meaning, a statement in Natural Language can be ambiguous.

Quine is just too freaking stupid to understand that the term "bachelor"
is an otherwise totally meaningless finite string until it is stipulated
to have the meaning of ~Married & Adult & Male.
If he is too stupid to understand that then why does he claim it?
Rudolf Carnap claims it and Willard Van Orman Quine
is too stupid to understand it.
