{{Main|Use–mention distinction}}

In metalogic, the words ''use'' and ''mention'', in both their noun and verb forms, take on a technical sense in order to identify an important distinction.<ref name="metalogic"/> The ''use–mention distinction'' (sometimes referred to as the ''words-as-words distinction'') is the distinction between ''using'' a word (or phrase) and ''mentioning'' it. Usually it is indicated that an expression is being mentioned rather than used by enclosing it in quotation marks, printing it in italics, or setting the expression by itself on a line. The enclosing in quotes of an expression gives us the [[name]] of an expression, for example:
