To attempt to completely understand the concept truth. This is the second paper concerning this concept. This important concept has conflicting paradoxes and theories concerning its meaning. The "Pro- sentential theory of truth" shows that an alternative account of the "grammar" of "true" in English can be given. The work is undertaken not only by a concern for truth but also to show more precision in the use of language and the use of proforms for communication.
