Wolfgang Stegmüller on Assertibility - Dictionary of Arguments

Stegmüller IV 85
Language/Kripke's Wittgenstein: Tractatus: Meaning = truth condition.
>Meaning
, >Truth conditions, >Kripkes Wittgenstein.
Problem: if we do not have a fact, we have no meanings anymore!
>Facts, >States of affairs, >Nonfactualism.
Wittgenstein, late(1): skeptical solution: assertibility conditions instead of truth conditions.
>Truth conditions.
IV 119f
Kripke: the skeptical solution is logically independent of the hyper-skeptical thesis (of the impossibility of language in general)
Stegmüller IV 96
Assertibility Conditions/Kripke's Wittgenstein/Stegmüller: this is about assertibility conditions of statements regarding obedience of rules. - But it would be wrong to set as right what seems right.
Solution: compliance (namely prior to the rule, not rule prior to agreement).
>Rules, >Rule following.
