 The formal structure that Tarski articulates in his ‘semantic’ account of truth is identical to that which Davidson explicates as the basis for a theory of meaning: a Tarskian truth theory can generate, for every sentence of the object-language, a T- sentence that specifies the meaning of each sentence in the sense of specifying the conditions under which it is true. What Davidson’s work shows, then, is that meeting the requirement of Tarski’s Convention T can be seen as the basic requirement for an adequate theory of meaning.
