Comparative illusion
- ... that Escher sentences like "More people have been to Russia than I have" are often initially perceived as perfectly ordinary and meaningful despite actually being ungrammatical nonsense? All the refs, really but to pick one: "Presented with the sentence in (1) [More people have been to Russia than I have.], native English speakers typically report that it is a perfectly acceptable sentence of their language. Yet, upon closer reflection, these same speakers judge that it has no stable, meaningful interpretation. Sentences of this form have come to be called ‘comparative illusions’ (CIs) or ‘Escher sentences’: they have only the appearance of well-formedness."
