In this talk, I provide a compositional analysis of different types of multiplicative adverbial constructions that express the distinction between event-external and event-internal quantification (i.e., quantification over acts as opposed to quantification over occasions, respectively). Based on cross-linguistic data from English, Polish, Mandarin Chinese and Hungarian, I investigate the interaction between the role of syntactic position and semantic properties of the different kinds of multiplicatives. I argue that the ontological relationship between acts and occasions is that of part-whole. In particular, I extend mereotopology to the domain of events, which allows for capturing acts as simplex temporally bounded events and occasions as clusters thereof. Thus, both categories fall into the ontological class of eventualities governed by different mereotopological principles of individuation.
