David Nicolas, « Mixtures and Mass Terms », HAL-SHS : linguistique, ID : 10.48106/dial.v75.i1.01
In this article, I show that the semantics one adopts for mass terms constrains the metaphysical claims one can make about mixtures. I first expose why mixtures challenge a singularist approach based on mereological sums. After discussing an alternative, non-singularist approach, I take chemistry into account and explain how it changes our perspective on these issues.
