 Paraphrasing Fine (2017), a truthmaker is something on the side of the world, as a fact or a state of affairs, making true something on the side of language or thought, as a statement or a proposition. Truthmaking has been an important topic in both metaphysics and semantics. For the first, “truthmaking serves as a conduit taking us from language or thought to an understanding of the world” (Fine 2017: 556); for the second, it provides adequate semantics for a given language by establishing how the world makes sentences of the language true.
