Truthmaker Semantics

Abstract: I develop a version of situation semantics in which a situation is taken to be exactly relevant to the statement that it verifies and I explore three applications of the semantics - to the notions of partial content and partial truth, to the interpretation of deontic and imperative statements, and to the theory of confirmation.
