Good Old Fashioned Model Theory

From wiki:

(semantics):

"In practice, truth-conditional semantics is similar to model-theoretic semantics; conceptually, however, they differ in that truth-conditional semantics seeks to connect language with statements about the real world (in the form of meta-language statements), rather than with abstract models."

So, I am with Jones in rehabilitating "model theory" and forget, momentarily about this obsession with truth-conditional! Or not!
