| Jul 24, 2019 at 14:47 | comment | added | tchrist♦ | Your statement about adverbs and ‑ly ignores the historical formation of adverbs in English using the old ‑(e)s genitives of nouns and adjectives. Forming adverbs, was originally ‑es, identical with the suffix of the genitive singular of many neuter and masculine nouns and adjectives. Several of the adverbs in -es that existed in Old English are genitives either of nouns (neuter or masculine) as dæges by day, nédes needs adv.. So daeges > days is the adverb derived from the noun. See also both ‑st and ‑ce in nonce, once, twice, thrice. | |

| Mar 2, 2015 at 13:58 | comment | added | Greg Lee | Following McCawley, I'd be happy to leave the preposition unspecified, so if there happens to be a real preposition with the right sense, then you can find a paraphrase using it. But if there happens not to be, that's okay, too. | |

| Mar 1, 2015 at 23:52 | comment | added | Greg Lee | "on a schedule of" | |
| Mar 1, 2015 at 23:47 | comment | added | Araucaria - Him | @GregLee To my BE ear that sounds a bit wonky "on every other weekday". Howabout three times a week ? | |

| Mar 1, 2015 at 21:02 | comment | added | Greg Lee | is this a trick question? "on" | |
| Mar 1, 2015 at 20:46 | comment | added | Araucaria - Him | @GregLee But what would the preposition be? | |
| Mar 1, 2015 at 20:28 | comment | added | Greg Lee | With every other weekday? Essentially the same, I suppose. It's a NP in internal structure and the object of an adverbial PP externally. | |
| Mar 1, 2015 at 20:04 | comment | added | Araucaria - Him | @GregLee I have no deep-rooted objection to that kind of theory (it's just that it's not necessary, so in principle with the proverbial Occam's ...). How would it work with every other weekday? | |
| Mar 1, 2015 at 20:01 | comment | added | Greg Lee | I think "open weekdays" has a prepositional phrase with "(on)" understood. A prepositional phrase has a NP object, which gives us NP as the category of "weekdays". Then "weekdays" can be the noun head of the object of "(on)". There is no conflict in the very same word being a noun in internal composition but the head of the object of a PP adverbial in its external relation to the verb. | |
