It also explains how to apply a disquotational truth predicate to ambiguous and indexical utterances, thereby going beyond Quine’s (1970 [1986]) insistence on taking eternal sentences as the subjects of the instances of (ES-sent) (cf. Field 1994a, 278–81). So, Field’s view addresses some of the concern
