Contraction, multiplicative quantifiers and omega paradoxes

Workshop; 3rd Workshop CLE-BALG; 2016

We have two main goals in this talk. The first one is to show that the definition given in Zardini (2011) for the multiplicative quantifiers is a good one, in the sense that the quantifiers behave exactly as one would expect them to. The second one is to argue that, unfortunately, these quantifiers bring about self-referential paradoxes that make no use of the structural rules of contraction.
