Schema â Grades 1-2 Page 3 Prior Knowledge What prior knowledge about reading strategies do students need to have before entering this unit of study? Monitoring for meaning Retelling Define the Strategy What is schema and how do readers use it? SCHEMA: Schema is a readerâs background knowledge that is used to understand the text.
The T-schema ('truth schema'; not to be confused with 'Convention T') is used to give an inductive definition of truth which lies at the heart of any realisation of Alfred Tarski's semantic theory of truth. Some authors refer to it as the 'Equivalence Schema', a synonym introduced by Michael Dummett.[1]
The T-schema is often expressed in natural language, but it can be formalized in many-sorted predicate logic or modal logic; such a formalisation is called a 'T-theory.' T-theories form the basis of much fundamental work in philosophical logic, where they are applied in several important controversies in analytic philosophy.
As expressed in semi-natural language (where 'S' is the name of the sentence abbreviated to S):'S' is true if and only if S
Example: 'snow is white' is true if and only if snow is white.
The inductive definition[edit]
By using the schema one can give an inductive definition for the truth of compound sentences. Atomic sentences are assigned truth valuesdisquotationally. For example, the sentence 'Snow is white' is true' becomes materially equivalent with the sentence 'snow is white', i.e. 'snow is white' is true if and only if snow is white. The truth of more complex sentences is defined in terms of the components of the sentence:
- A sentence of the form 'A and B' is true if and only if A is true and B is true
- A sentence of the form 'A or B' is true if and only if A is true or B is true
- A sentence of the form 'if A then B' is true if and only if A is false or B is true; see material implication.
- A sentence of the form 'not A' is true if and only if A is false
- A sentence of the form 'for all x, A(x)' is true if and only if, for every possible value of x, A(x) is true.
- A sentence of the form 'for some x, A(x)' is true if and only if, for some possible value of x, A(x) is true.
Natural languages[edit]
Joseph Heath points out[2] that 'The analysis of the truth predicate provided by Tarski's Schema T is not capable of handling all occurrences of the truth predicate in natural language. In particular, Schema T treats only âfreestandingâ uses of the predicateâcases when it is applied to complete sentences.' He gives as 'obvious problem' the sentence:
- Everything that Bill believes is true.
Heath argues that analyzing this sentence using T-schema generates the sentence fragmentââeverything that Bill believesââon the righthand side of the Logical biconditional.
