On the construction of fully interpreted formal languages which posses their truth predicates

Abstract

We shall construct by ordinary recursion method subsets to the set DD of G\"odel numbers of the sentences of a language L\mathcal L. That language is formed by sentences of a fully interpreted formal language LL, called an MA language, and sentences containing a monadic predicate letter TT. From the class of the constructed subsets of DD we extract one set UU by transfinite recursion method. Interpret those sentences whose G\"odel numbers are in UU as true, and their negations as false. These sentences together form an MA language. It is a sublanguage of L\mathcal L having LL as its sublanguage, and TT is its truth predicate.
