| Abstract | This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of alternation between transitive and intransitive sentences in modern Japanese from the perspective of a conceptualization of the two-party relationship between an entity and its location. It reveals the existence and generation mechanism of transitive constructions that cannot be perceived simply from the perspective of the relationship between two entities. The conventional perspective provides a way to construe an event based on a causal chain schema. It can explain how inchoative alternation occurs in (1a-b) , but cannot explain such alternation as is shown in (2a-b). |
