Valence Alternations in German: an LMT Analysis

This paper proposes an LMT analysis for valence alternations in German of the form:
NP-k V NP-i [P NP-j] ==> NP-k V NP-j [P NP-i]
where the indices denote referential identity. These alternations involve direct internal arguments (i.e., objects) and indirect prepositional complements, and characterize among others the behaviour of verbal predicates which participate in the so-called Locative Alternation phenomena in German.
