Truth
If anaphora crosses syntactic barriers, a number of difficulties with
truth disappear: (i) the inexpressibility of a simple generalization
with the logical force of (all) the Tarski biconditions, (ii) the
problematical status of a predicate governed by such lists of
biconditions -- specifically whether such a predicate "expresses a
property", (iii) the apparent fact that truth predicates -- construed
Tarski-wise -- cannot apply to more than one language.
