Abstract: The contribution aims to determine whether N can be gradable or not. The author adopts a narrow view of gradation and, after trying to draw the line between false gradable nouns and real ones, she shows that only two categories of nouns are suitable for nominal gradation : the massive N and plurals. These categories present indeed a continuous gradation.
