I here develop a specific version of the deflationary theory of truth. I adopt a terminology on which deflationism holds that an exhaustive account of truth is given by the equivalence between truth-ascriptions and de-nominalised (or disquoted) sencentes. An adequate truth-theory, it is argued, must be finite, non-circular, and gives a unified account of all occurrences of "true". I also argue that it must descriptively capture the ordinary meaning of "true", which is plausibly taken to be unambiguous.
