Thus, sentences can be formed such as "This sentence is wrong". See also paradoxes, self-reference, expressiveness, richness, completeness, second order logic, dialethism._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
