 Following Leeds and Quine, Field (1999, 533–4) sees the central utility of a purely disquotational truth predicate to be providing for the expression of certain “fertile generalizations” that cannot be made without using the truth predicate but which do not really involve the notion of truth. Field (1994a, 264) notes that the truth predicate plays “an important logical role: it allows us to formulate certain infinite conjunctions and disjunctions that can’t be formulated otherwise [n. 17: at least in a language that does not contain substitutional quantifiers]”.
