| Semantic facts, philosophy: whether semantic facts are accepted within a theory depends on the orientation of this theory. That is, it depends on whether the theory is concerned with the use of language or with a more or less physical description of external objects. In the latter case, semantic facts should not be decisive. See also facts, truth maker, semantics._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Robert Brandom on Semantic Facts - Dictionary of Arguments
I 469 Make true/fact/Brandom: misleading: it is not the fact that p what makes true that p - solution: in a sense, facts are what makes assertion acts true - there are no specific semantic facts - probably physical facts are made true by physical predicates, but not semantic facts by a semantic predicate - "true that snow ...": a semantic predicate for a non-semantic fact. >Facts, >Assertions, >Truth, >Truthmakers, >Truth predicate._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
