A prolegomenon to the empirical cross?linguistic study of truth

In this paper, we propose and justify the cross-linguistic study of concept truth through empirical studies predicates, with results such studies. We first conceptually explore possibility disagreement about purely due to linguistic norms governing which may imply a kind pluralism truth. then consider conditions under would be justified in inferring sort from fact disagreement. Next, report three on use English “is true” Japanese two as well correct” its counterpart. another set using different vignette, where radical difference observed earlier disappeared. These data together suggest that moral-political factor truth-bearer (utterance) strongly affects uses predicates but not those English. Finally, will discuss implications reported here, what call lexical alethic pluralism, for debates over relativism, theories meaning, deflationary inflationary
