• Wrathall, M. A. (2006) Truth and the essence of truth in Heidegger's thought. In C. Guignon, ed. The Cambridge companion to Heidegger, 2e, pp. 241-267 [Cambridge UP]. Wrathall presents Heidegger's account as "a nonrepresentational account of language, [wherein] assertion is a way of orienting ourselves in an engagement with the world—an 'assertative being toward what is asserted'—and correspondence amounts to uncovering. / A true assertion uncovers a state of affairs by elevating it into salience or prominence, thus allowing it to be seen" (246).
