About me
I am Professor Emeritus in Theoretical Philosophy and Logic at Stockholm University, and Jin Yuelin Professor of Logic at Tsinghua University, Beijing.
I currently teach (once a year) a course in Formal Semantics at Stockholm University, and a course Foundations of Logic: completeness, incompleteness, undecidability, at Tsinghua University.
Most of my reasearch has been in the intersection of logic, philosophy of language, and linguistics. I have a monograph (OUP 2006, 510 pp, with Stanley Peters) on generalized quantifiers and natural language. My current reasearch is focused on issues about compositionality, and on logical constants and logical consequence.

Quantifiers in Language and Logic (with Stanley Peters), OUP 2006, 2008, xix + 528 pp.
