'Analytic' can be conceptual, or by meaning, or predicate inclusion, or definition... [Jenkins]
     Full Idea: 'Analytic' might mean conceptually true, or true in virtue of meaning, or where the predicate is contained in the subject, or for sentences which define something, or where meaning is sufficient for the truth.

     A reaction: The second one says meaning grounds the truth, where the last one says meaning entails the truth.
