Truth and urverdrangung in language learning : a Lacanian reading of Davidson's radical interpretation theory

The author by applying the Lacanian notion of “the Other”(l'Ature) to Davidson's Radical Interpretation Theory proposes a primal T-sentence hypothesis ― ‘φ' is true iff φ― to make account for child's language learning, and draws the conclusion that truth such as defined in Tarskian fashion would entail “Urverdrӓngung” on the part of learning child, who so learning is supposed to identify itself with the truth condition of the primal token addressed by the Other viz. mother who bears the obscure authority of truth witness.
