Sumario:In the Language Argumentation Theory (TAL), the concept of paradox is linked to the hypothesis that it can be defined in merely linguistic terms. In this definition, it is understood that there is a structural argumentation related to some expressions in natural languages. This concept indicates that language is associated to some words and their internal argumentations. Through the analysis of paradoxical enchainments, defined by Oswald Ducrot and Marion Carel (2001), in the Language Argumentation Theory, this article aims to confirm that some kinds of paradox can be explained in strictly linguistic terms, without being considered something contradictory, absurd or even difficult to understand.
