Nit: I can easily imagine scenarios in which a native English speaker would naturally produce the sentence "This sentence is false," but "this sentence" wouldn't be self-referential, and hence the sentence wouldn't be paradoxical (e.g., someone's reading a news article aloud and pauses after a sentence to proclaim it false). -- Paul
