      This paper presents a logical analysis of the structure of semantic theories, using notions from the formal philosophy of science. Its main conclusion is that the common semantic 'completeness theorems' establish, in a precise sense, so-called 'eliminability' of theoretical terms used in the model-theoretic apparatus of the theory.
