What are the theories in Inflationist Theory for Criteria of Truth?

The criteria for truth include different theories:


Inflationist theories (believe that truth has a specific nature)
Correspondence theory (the nature of truth is the
correspondence of a given truth-bearer to a fact)
Coherence theory (a given truth-bearer is true just in case it
coheres or is consistent with other statements or beliefs),
Pragmatic theory (claims that the condition of a statement’s truth
is neither its correspondence to a fact nor its coherence to other
statements, rather, it is its usefulness in solving problems and
answering inquiries),
Verificationist theory [stems from its implied theory of meaning,
meaningful statements are either analytic (true in virtue of
meaning) or empirical (true in virtue of being verifiable by sense-
experience)]
Deflationist theories (argue the contrary by claiming that ‘true’
denotes no substantial property.
