A basic technique in model theory is to name the elements of a model by introducing new constant symbols. We describe the analogous construction in the language of syntactic categories/ sites. As an application we identify Set-valued regular functors on the syntactic category with a certain class of topos-valued models (we will refer to them as "Sh(B)-valued models"). For the coherent fragment Lωωg ⊆ Lωω this was proved by Jacob Lurie, our discussion gives a new proof, together with a generalization to Lκκg when κ is weakly compact. We present some further applications: first, a Sh(B)-valued completeness theorem for Lκκg (κ is weakly compact), second, that C→ Set regular functors (on coherent categories with disjoint coproducts) admit an elementary map to a product of coherent functors.
