Title: Substructural Solutions to the Semantic Paradoxes: a Dialetheic Perspective

Abstract: Over the last decade or so, a number of writers have argued for  solutions to the paradoxes of semantic self-reference which proceed by dropping some of the structural rules of inference, most notably Cut and/or Contraction.  In this paper, we will examine such accounts, with a particular eye on their relationship to more familiar dialetheic accounts.
