Bach-Peters paradox
SYNTAX: paradox in the description of sentences such as (i), first noted by Emmon Bach and Stanley Peters.
(i) [the student who deserves iti ]j will get
[the reward hej works for ]i
If iti is intended to be co-referential with the reward hej works for, and hej is intended to be co-referential with the student who deserves iti , and if the coreferring terms are equated in the description, we have the paradox that a term a which properly contains a term b, is equal to a term b which is properly contained in a (the paradox being that a term must be both equal and unequal to another term). In the case of (i) the paradox is avoided if the description is
something like (ii).
(ii) for all x, x:a student & for all y, y:a reward (if x
works for y & x deserves y, then x will get y)
