Abstract
This is the �irst sentence of this article�
Clearly the sentence above is true (not highly informative but
true). Contrast this to the next sentence, below:
This is the first sentence of this article
how the second statement, though identical to the first, is
clearly false.
Such sentences that speak about themselves are called
self-referential sentences, because they are, in a way, looking at
themselves in the mirror and describing themselves.
