Abstract: Generic sentences and paradoxes are two phenomena of heterogeneity isomorphism.The contradiction of a paradox and that of a generic sentence and its counterexamples are actually the substantial reflection of the contradictions of human thinking such as contradictions between different levels of thinking and that between fuzzy thinking and precise thinking.The existence of such contradictions have become the feature of human thinking during the long course of the development of human thinking capacity,resulting in the unconsciousness of thinking with harmonious thinking,paradoxical thinking and dialectical thinking interacting with each other.Contemporary linguistics has developed to the stage where its theoretical basis needs exploration in its depth.As theories of sciences develop to a given stage,especially to the stage in which the foundations of scientific theories are to be explored,the dialectical nature of the research objects is usually reflected in contradictions so as to reflect in turn the dialectical essence of human thinking.Generic sentence and its counterexamples are in essence such kind of reflections,which is worth much exploration.
