Reference: Levin
Move is what's sometimes called an
ergative verb: loosely, a verb that can be both
transitive and intransitive, where the participant represented by the
direct object of the transitive is the subject of the intransitive.
Levin distinguishes different variations on this transitivity
alternation. Move is the
causative/inchoative alternation:
Agent Vtrans Object = Agent causes Object to
Vintrans
So where does the inchoative come in? The resulting state
of move is
Object in new location.
