ABSTRACT
The point on which Mr Wamock principally insists in his paper1 is that someone
who says that a certain statement is true thereby makes a statement about a
statement. The point is not one that I shall dispute; and since it will be convenient
to have a name for it, I shall refer to it as the undisputed thesis. The importance of
the undisputed thesis appears to Mr Wamock to lie in the bearing it has on attempts
to answer, or on criticisms of attempts to answer, certain philosophically debated
questions. These questions, as alluded to by Mr Wamock at various points in his
paper, can be distinguished (or, perhaps, grouped) as follows:

a statement is true?
