I argue for two claims: that the ordinary English truth predicate is a gradable adjective and that truth is a property that comes in degrees. The first is a semantic claim, motivated by the linguistic evidence and the similarity of the truth predicate’s behavior to other gradable terms. The second is a claim in natural language metaphysics, motivated by interpreting the best semantic analysis of gradable terms as applied to the truth predicate. In addition to providing arguments for these two claims, I draw out consequences for debates about deflationism and truth-based analyses of notions such as assertion and logical consequence.

真相与可分级性

我主张两种说法：普通的英语真理谓词是可分级的形容词，而真理是度数决定的属性。第一个是语义要求，它是由语言证据和真谓词的行为与其他可分级术语的相似性所驱动的。第二个是自然语言形而上学的主张，其动机是解释适用于真谓词的可分级术语的最佳语义分析。除了为这两个主张提供论据外，我还将为通缩和基于事实的论断（例如断言和逻辑后果）的辩论得出结论。
