Original language name

Knowledge Representation and Communication in the Multi-Agent World

Original language description

The use-mention distinction is traditionally understood as the distinction between using an expression (or phrase, etc.) and mentioning it. Making a statement mention itself is an interesting way of producing logical paradoxes. Violation of the use-mention distinction can produce sentences that sound and appear similar to the original, but have an entirely different meaning. However, a lot of misunderstanding and many paradoxes arise also from confusing different ways in which a meaningful expression can be used. Though there is a lot of dispute on using-mentioning expressions, surprisingly, little attention has been paid to the distinction between using and mentioning entities which are referred to when the expression is used. There are many examplesof such paradoxes, see, e.g., Gamut (1991, pp. 203,204). To adduce one, consider the following (obviously invalid) argument: The temperature in Amsterdam equals the temperature in Prague. The temperature in Amsterdam is increasing. Hence:
