Alternation ‘Transitivity alternation of motion predicates’ (Coded)

S = A. A well-defined set of UVs participating in a transitivity alternation with non-causative semantics are UVs of manner or direction (path) of motion. These may all occur with both intransitive and transitive IVs of locomotion and characterise the manner/direction of motion of either S or A.
