Les propriétés linguistiques du paradoxe : paradoxe et négation

Abstract

Oswald Ducrot, Marion Carel, Linguistical properties of paradox : paradox and negation The previous paper has defined a mere linguistical notion of paradox. But this notion does not represent the meaning of the word paradox of the ordinary language : and so it must be justified. This is the purpose of this paper. It shows that the words, sentences and sequences to which the linguistical definition of paradox applies have peculiar properties : for instance the negation effect on them is different from the negation effect on the paradoxical expressions.
