Popis In this paper, I investigate certain intriguing properties of two types of quantificational adjectives exemplified by the English `two-time' and `double' and their interactions with event semantics. I explore their semantic behavior in phrases such as `two-time champion' and `double murder' and show that they operate on hidden eventive components within the semantics of the modified NPs. Building on Zobel's (2017) analysis of social roles and Wągiel's (2018) theory of subatomic quantification, I propose an analysis that accounts for their puzzling properties. In particular, I argue that `two-time' counts events of acquiring of a salient and conventionalized social role by an individual, whereas `double' is a subatomic quantifier that counts essential parts of an event.
