	From: Susan Haack (Philosophy of Logics [1978], 7.6)

3. Truth / F. Semantic Truth / 1. Tarski's Truth / a. Tarski's truth definition

2570	The same sentence could be true in one language and meaningless in another, so truth is language-relative [Haack]

	From: Susan Haack (Philosophy of Logics [1978], 7.5)

12. Knowledge Sources / B. Perception / 4. Sense Data / b. Nature of sense-data

2713	Are sense-data independent, with identity, substance and location? [Tye]

	From: Michael Tye (Adverbial Theory [1995], p.7)
