Does it simply continue to be an adverbial/preposition phrase? Or does it change its function and/or material?

The "on" is understood to be part of a prepositional phrase, as in "I will meet you at the meeting Monday at noon."– suseCommented Dec 21, 2018 at 3:10

With certain nouns, like days of the week, the preposition can be understood. What else can you do with a day of the week, after all?– John LawlerCommented Dec 21, 2018 at 3:12

1I might note that in terms of usage, there is a distinct difference between AmE and BritE. I use BritE and would never say "at the meeting Monday" - leaving out on sounds like an Americanism (like leaving out "and" in 120).– Chappo Hasn't ForgottenCommented Dec 21, 2018 at 7:07

1Do Canadians ring each other on the telephone as the British do? Otherwise it's not quite North American.– KarlGCommented Dec 21, 2018 at 5:06

Interesting to note that MW specifies this is a North American usage. Google Ngrams gives a sense of the AmE/BritE difference. Commented Dec 21, 2018 at 7:11
