Editing Correspondence theory of truth (section)

=== Correspondence as correlation ===
[[J. L. Austin]]<ref name=A/><ref name=SEP/> theorized that there need not be any structural parallelism between a true statement and the state of affairs that makes it true. It is only necessary that the [[semantics]] of the [[language]] in which the statement is expressed are such as to correlate whole-for-whole the statement with the state of affairs. A false statement, for Austin, is one that is correlated by the language to a state of affairs that does not exist.<ref>See Kirkham, 1992, section 4.3</ref>
