Abstract

This paper formulates the paradox of analyticity similar to the Liar Antinomy. The proposed analysis shows that T-equivalences play a crucial role in generating both logical puzzles. The main lesson derived from the paradox of analyticity suggests that the concept of analytic sentences should be defined in a metalanguage, at least if it is understood in the semantic manner.
