Created page with "'''Self-reference''' occurs in natural or formal languages when a sentence, idea or formula refers to itself. (TO DO:..."

New page

'''Self-reference''' occurs in [[natural language|natural]] or [[formal languages]] when a [[Sentence (linguistics)|sentence]], idea or [[formula]] refers to itself.

(TO DO: expand, organize, cross-reference, illustrate.)

== Description ==

The reference may be expressed either directly—through some intermediate sentence or formula—or by means of some [[Semantics encoding|encoding]]. In [[philosophy]], it also refers to the ability of a subject to speak of or refer to himself, herself, or itself: to have the kind of thought expressed by the first person nominative singular pronoun, [[I (pronoun)|the word "I"]] in English.

Self-reference is studied and has applications in [[mathematics]], [[philosophy]], [[computer programming]], and [[linguistics]]. Self-referential statements are sometimes [[paradox]]ical.
