Pinker (1989) characterizes the two variants of the locative alternation (spray paint onto the wall/spray the wall with paint) as denoting change of location and change of state, respectively. While this characterization has been widely accepted in the literature, it has several problems : (1) The notion of change of state is not the same as that commonly understood ; (2) Some location-as-object variants do not conform to the template of change of state.The lexical constructional analysis proposed in this study overcomes these difficulties. The proposed analysis holds verb-class-specific constructions, rather than abstract constructions as in Goldberg (1995), to be responsible for the alternation. Now the locative alternation stems from the fact that a give verb can instantiate both ‘put'-class-specific construction and ‘cover/fill'-class-specific construction. Accordingly, the location-as-object variant is shown to be quite separate from change of state verbs like break. Also, the apparently odd behaviors of the location-as-object variant is attributable to it being sanctioned by ‘wipe'-class-specific construction.The locative alternation in Japanese can be accounted for in essentially the same way. The seeming differences from the English locative alternation can be coherently accounted for by taking a close look at individual cases.

平克（Pinker，1989）将当地替代方案的两个变体（在墙壁上喷漆/用油漆喷涂墙壁喷涂）分别表示位置的变化和状态变化。尽管这种特征在文献中已被广泛接受，但它存在几个问题：（1）状态变化的概念与普遍理解的概念不同； （2）某些位置 - 对象变体不符合状态变化模板。本研究中提出的词汇建设性分析克服了这些困难。所提出的分析具有特定于动词的特定构造，而不是像Goldberg（1995）那样的抽象结构，是为了造成替代方案。现在，从给出动词可以实例化“ put”级特定的构造和“覆盖/填充”级特定构造的事实，从一个地方进行了替代步骤。彼此之间，显示位置 - 对象变体与状态动词（如Break）的变化完全分开。同样，位置 - 对象变体的明显奇怪行为归因于它被“擦除”特定的阶级结构所批准。通过仔细观察各个案例，可以一致地解释与英国位置替代方案的看似差异。
