The word that traps itself in a paradox
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
The Grelling-Nelson paradox breaks semantics using pure logic. If 'autological' words describe themselves (like 'short' is short) and 'heterological' words do not (like 'long' is not long), what is the word 'heterological'? If it is, it isn't. If it isn't, it is. It is a brilliant way to trap linguists and logicians in an endless loop of semantic frustration.
One discovery leads to another.
