Review text

The author argues (i) that some paradoxes (the Heterologicality Paradox, the Liar, the Paradox of the Preface) depend on a univocality assumption, (ii) that allowing for ambiguity is not enough to avoid all paradoxes of self-reference, and (iii) that some paradoxes require for their avoidance uneffability, i.e., reference to meanings that cannot be expressed in the language. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1021.00009].
