A verb of bodily motion, usually intransitive, takes a post-verbal locational object, e.g. She jumped the puddle. The construction is a near paraphrase relationship with a intransitive sentence with a PP, e.g. She jumped over the puddle. Levin (1993) might have categorised this an kind "preposition omission", but I see an affiliation with locative applicatives, hence the coinage Locative promotion. Occasionally a canonically transitive verb can participate: She climbed over the fence ~ She climbed the fence.
