Alternation ‘Noncausative Alternation’ (Uncoded)

The verb has a transitive and an intransitive (noncausative) use; the referent of the subject of the intransitive construction is assigned a semantic role similar to that assigned to the object of the transitive construction, but the intransitive construction does not imply the involvement of a participant with the role assigned to the subject of the transitive construction.
