| Metalanguage: metalanguage is the language in which linguistic forms, the meaning of expressions and sentences, the use of language, as well as the admissibility of formations, and the truth of statements are discussed. The language you refer to is called object language. A statement about the form, correctness, or truth of another statement thus includes both, i.e. object language and meta language. See also richness, truth-predicate, expressiveness, paradoxes, mention, use, quasi-reference, quotation, hierarchy, fixed points._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

S.A. Kripke on Metalanguage - Dictionary of Arguments
III 342 Metalanguage/ML/interpretation/truth theory/KripkeVsWallace/VsBelnap: metalanguage should not be purely formally construed as uninterpreted (object language should). >Object language. III 347 Truth Theory/Davidson//Kripke: metalanguage may contain semantic vocabulary as well. The translation is also guaranteed if both sides contain semantic vocabulary - Kripke: Very different in Tarski: truth and all semantic terms are explicitly defined in non-semantic vocabulary. >Thruth theories, >Vocabulary/Kripke. III 355f Modality/metalanguage/Kripke: modal operators disappear in the metalanguage - right side of a meaning. >Operators, >Modal operators. Theory/truth theory: the theory has no demonstratives, personal pronouns and no grammatical tenses. KripkeVsWallace: that does not make modal operators "misleading superficial properties". >Substitutional quantification. III 383 Metalanguage/Kripke: If metalanguage = object language + truth predicate, then sentences that contain no truth predicate must be treated the same in both languages - but metalanguage should have more anyway: variables about expressions of the object language._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
