In [[philosophy]] and [[logic]], a '''deflationary theory of truth''' (also '''semantic deflationism'''<ref>Alexis Burgess, Brett Sherman (eds.), ''Metasemantics: New Essays on the Foundations of Meaning'', Oxford University Press, 2014, p. 187.</ref> or simply '''deflationism''') is one of a family of theories that all have in common the claim that assertions of predicate [[truth]] of a statement do not attribute a property called "truth" to such a statement.
