Criteria: Criteria do not follow from a definition but must be developed. The criteria for the application of a concept to an object are more concerned with language practice in a community. E.g. the definition of truth does not provide a criterion for which sentences are true.

J.R. Searle on Criteria - Dictionary of Arguments

V 23
Criteria/Searle: the adoption of criteria depends on their adequacy which makes prior knowledge necessary.
>Adequacy.
V 65ff
Criteria are measured by success.
V 205
Criteria/meaning/use/Urmson: e.g. the Ministry of Agriculture stipulated: an "extra fine variety" (judgmental) and beyond that the classes A, B, and C (descriptive). Between them there can be no derivation relation ((s) otherwise it is a circle). SearleVsUrmson: "any apple that is A is an extra fine variety" is not a definition but an analytical statement. It has a different illocutionary role than "this apple is extra fine". But that does not indicate that the proposition expressed in the second statement could not be derived from the first.
