"x is true if and only p" is not, according to Tarski or anyone who has reasonably studied this subject, the liar paradox nor the liar sentence. Moreover, as has been explained several times to the poster, Tarski does no use the liar sentence as a premise in any proof. Rather, Tarski assumes, toward a contradiction, that in the interpreted language there is a truth predicate for that language, and then shows that that assumption would allow the formation of the liar sentence and its contradiction, therefore that the assumption is contradictory and there is no such truth predicate. — TonesInDeepFreeze
It has been pointed out at least half a dozen times in other threads: Godel is referring to using the general idea of such paradoxes to spring the idea for his proof, but the actual proof does not use the liar paradox, — TonesInDeepFreeze
Saying again that Godel used the liar sentence in the incompleteness/undecidability proofs is to yet again ignore the plain hard fact that he did not. — TonesInDeepFreeze
...14 Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar undecidability proof.(Gödel 1931:43-44)
Saying that Tarski derived the liar paradox is to yet again ignore the plain hard fact that he did not. — TonesInDeepFreeze
It would then be possible to reconstruct the antinomy of the liar
in the metalanguage, by forming in the language itself a sentence x
such that the sentence of the metalanguage which is correlated
with x asserts that x is not a true sentence.

We can read the many posts in which the poster claimed that Godel used the liar sentence (i.e. the epistemological antinomy) in the proof. — TonesInDeepFreeze
...14 Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar undecidability proof...
(Gödel 1931:40)
Moreover, Godel could not use it as a line in any step of the proof, because the liar sentence cannot even be formulated in such systems that are the subject of the proof, which is what Tarski proved. — TonesInDeepFreeze

It's right there in the paper. Footnote 14 pertains to the passages that begin, "The analogy of this argument [...]" — TonesInDeepFreeze

The context in which they are not mistaken is the context in which he wrote them. — TonesInDeepFreeze
(4) Tarski even proved that the liar sentence cannot be formulated in such systems. — TonesInDeepFreeze
For the 100th time, Tarski himself said that instead of "false" he used "unprovable. It's in the exact text of the paper. — TonesInDeepFreeze
I guess the poster won't concede that footnote 14 is to the passages that begin by saying that the antinomies are analogous to the Godel argument. — TonesInDeepFreeze
(1) In the Tarski proof of undecidability lately discussed here, Tarski did not use the liar sentence, — TonesInDeepFreeze
It would then be possible to
reconstruct the antinomy of the liar in the metalanguage
by forming in the language itself a sentence x such that the
sentence of the metalanguage which is correlated with x
asserts that x is not a true sentence.

The easily verifiable fact is that on page 275 of the undecidability proof the poster mentioned, Tarski does not use the liar sentence in any step in that proof. Indeed, Tarski specifically mentions that he doesn't use the liar sentence but rather uses 'provable' rather than 'true'. — TonesInDeepFreeze

It would then be possible to reconstruct the antinomy of the liar
in the metalanguage, by forming in the language itself a sentence
x such that the sentence of the metalanguage which is correlated
with x asserts that x is not a true sentence.

First, as has been pointed out to the poster at least a dozen times, this is not a proof of undefinability. It is a proof of undecidability. — TonesInDeepFreeze
The undefinability theorem is conventionally attributed to Alfred Tarski. Gödel also discovered the undefinability theorem in 1930, while proving his incompleteness theorems published in 1931, and well before the 1933 publication of Tarski's work (Murawski 1998). While Gödel never published anything bearing on his independent discovery of undefinability, he did describe it in a 1931 letter to John von Neumann. Tarski had obtained almost all results of his 1933 monograph "The Concept of Truth in the Languages of the Deductive Sciences" between 1929 and 1931, and spoke about them to Polish audiences. However, as he emphasized in the paper, the undefinability theorem was the only result he did not obtain earlier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski%27s_undefinability_theorem — Wikipedia

And again, for about the tenth time: Tarski does not use the liar sentence as a premise in his proofs. Rather, for undefinability, he makes a reductio ad absurdum assumption that there is a truth predicate, from which he shows that that assumption provides a liar sentence that is a contradiction, — TonesInDeepFreeze
