Statements are true or not {truth, epistemology}. Only propositions, not terms, can have truth. Statements can be factual, consistent, complete, and coherent.
subjects
Truth can be about mental representations, such as beliefs, sentences, and statements, or about propositions, about which statements are instances.
statements
True propositions are analytic or synthetic statements. Analytic propositions are true in themselves. Synthetic propositions are real-world or imaginary-world facts.
statements: meaning
Statement truth depends on statement meaning, not statement words.
statements: time
Statements implicitly include time, and statement truth depends on time.
logic
True knowledge does not lead to false lemmas.
language
Truth is relation between language expression and physical and social world. The physical and social world is independent of speakers. However, language expression depends on speaker concepts and understanding. Word sense and reference change over time, position, and context. Therefore, necessary truths and a priori truths cannot exist.
