The causative-inchoative alternation is a lexical alternation that characterizes pairs of verbs which stand in approximately the following semantic relation to each other: the intransitive member of the pair, a.k.a. an inchoative verb, denotes a change of state, and the transitive member of the pair, a.k.a. a causative-inchoative verb, denotes a bringing about of this change of state. The sentences in ( 1 }-(3) illustrate the causative-inchoative alternation with typical pairs of alternating verbs .
