The '''Grelling–Nelson paradox''' arises from the question of whether the term "non-self-descriptive" is self-descriptive. It was formulated in 1908 by [[Kurt Grelling]] and [[Leonard Nelson]], and is sometimes mistakenly attributed to the German philosopher and mathematician [[Hermann Weyl]]<ref>Weyl refers to it as a "well-known paradox" in ''[https://archive.org/details/daskontinuumkrit00weyluoft Das Kontinuum]'' (1918), p. 2, mentioning it only to dismiss it.  Its misattribution to him may stem from {{harvnb|Ramsey|1926}} (attested in {{harvnb|Peckhaus|2004}}).</ref> thus occasionally called '''Weyl's paradox''' or '''Grelling's paradox'''. It is closely related to several other well-known paradoxes, in particular, the [[barber paradox]] and [[Russell's paradox]]. It is an [[antinomy]], or a semantic self-referential paradox.
