I hope this isn't one of the obvious places:
A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language (1985)
has two sections that touch on once, twice, thrice.
At 5.18 they are classed as multipliers, under predeterminers,
under determinatives - chapter is nouns and determiners.
At 8.64 they are classed under occasion frequency, under
time-frequency adjuncts, under adjuncts of time, under
grammatical realization of semantic roles - chapter is the
semantics and grammar of adverbials. In both instances,
the examples suggest continuing with four times, five times ...
