Summary/Abstract: The paper contains a discussion of a basic difficulty encountered by adherents of the disquotational conception of truth. The problem is that the disquotational theory seems to weak to prove many important truth-theoretical generalizations, like e.g. „All substitutions of the law of excluded middle are true”. Various ways of saving the disquotationalist from this objection are analyzed and deemed unsatisfactory.
