| Description | In recent years, various ways in which adjectival modifiers can interact with event semantics have been explored (e.g., Zimmermann 2003, Schäfer 2007, Gehrke & McNally 2015). In this paper, I will examine two types of quantificational adjectives exemplified by English two-time and double (cf. Dočekal & Wągiel 2018, Wągiel 2020) which exhibit non-trivial quantificational behavior. I will argue that novel data show that the internal structure of nominal expressions involving such modifiers is richer than typically assumed and extending natural language ontology is needed. |
