Not only do you not define truth with respect to sentences of English, your
example is circular.  The sentence is or isn't syntactically correct and may
or may not have semantic content.  By saying that the sentence is on a list
of English sentences, you imply that it is syntactically correct.  The
semantic content of the sentence, however, still depends on it being
interpreted.
