Popis In this paper, we bring in novel data concerning the distribution and semantic properties of two classes of adverbs of quantification in Czech, i.e., event numerals such as dvakrát ‘twice/two times’ as opposed to degree numerals such as dvojnásobně ‘doubly/twofold’. We explore the contrasts between the expressions in question including the interaction with comparatives and equatives as well as scope asymmetries. We propose that degree numerals target values on a provided scale and are, hence, best analyzed as predicates of degrees whereas event numerals have a more general semantics which primarily allows for quantification over individuated events, but also enables to operate on degrees.
