 A third response to this dilemma is to accept that deflationism applies inter alia to sentences, but to argue (following Field 1994a) that the sentences to which it applies must be interpreted sentences, i.e., sentences which already have meaning attached to them. While it takes more than snow being white to make the sentence ‘snow is white’ true, when we think of it as divorced from its meaning, that is not so clear when we treat it as having the meaning it in fact has.
