Is this a question?

[Zetetic11235]

This statement is false.-Kurt Godel. Much more interesting in my opinion, however:

"Is this sentence a question?" That is the correct form, there is no indication for the pronoun's meaning otherwise.

S=the sentence F()=property of being a question E: =there exists.

E:F(S)v~E: F(S)=Either there exists a sentence with form S having the property of a question, or there doesn't, it either is or isn't, and you are asking for a response, so it is.

when you say it it does sound like a qustion, and yourright about Godels.
If the statement is false then he is telling the truth in which case it is not false, but if it is not false it inherently is. A loop of gramatical programming I call it. I also think of them as half lies.
If robots invade the world like the terminator and the matrix, what is so hard about telling them the statement:

"I am telling you a lie".

The robots brain in theory should go *fosizzle*

Their greatest ally is with the ever broadening Fuzzy logic! It will strike fear in to the hearts of those who fear it! Disturbe the tranquility of those who fret about it!
close shut forever the door of human freedom and bind us to the will of the probability engine of our creation! DOOM TO ALL WHO ARE DOOMED!

A few simple questions to ask yourself which should lead you to an answer. They are designed to be YES or NO.

1) Can something either BE or NOT BE a sentance?
2) Is "Is this a question?" a sentance?
3) Can a sentance either BE or NOT BE a question?
4) Is "Is this a question?" a question?
5) Does it invite a direct response?

If YES to all then it couldn't possibly be anything but a question.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After determining it is infact a sentance (verb, noun etc...) you need to determine the nature of sentance it is.

It is inviting a response, has a question mark and has a subject (namely its self), so I argue that it is a question. In which case I would simply answer "yes". If you disagree with me then you will find your only option is to respond with "no", in which case you are by default acknologing it as a question and treating it like one by answering. And as it either is a question or it isn't a question, and claiming it to not be a question would be none sensical then your only option is to accept it as a question.

However, as it is its own content then I argue is just a meaningless sentance.
