Presentation
I am a **CNRS researcher** at Institut Jean Nicod (ENS, EHESS, PSL).
My main fields of interest are **semantics**, **philosophical logic**, and **ontology**.
I have worked notably on mass nouns and count nouns, plural logic, telicity, and gradable expressions.
I have written a book and several [**papers**](http://d.a.nicolas.free.fr/papers.html) on these topics, also presented in various [**conferences**](http://d.a.nicolas.free.fr/conferences.html).
Here are my [**curriculum vitae**](http://d.a.nicolas.free.fr/cv.html) and [**philpapers**](https://philpeople.org/profiles/david-nicolas) and [**google scholar**](https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=RjU7xk8AAAAJ) profiles.
