Introduction
This paper tries to show how semantic theory (STT for brevity) of truth can be used as a tool for analysis of the scientific realism (SR for brevity). In particular, I will argue that STT with some additions provides a good foundation for the realistic account of empirical theories. Roughly speaking, SR regards such theories as true or false due to their relation to the external (real, actual, etc.) world (see Psillos 1999 for an extensive analysis of SR). One can say using a very fashionable semantic and ontological jargon (I will not employ this way of speaking in what follows) that real facts function as truth-makers for statements made by scientists.
