1. Summary
To understand a verb’s meaning and use it correctly, a second language (L2) speaker must learn in what syntactic structures the verb is allowed. Across languages, there are some consistent verb semantics-syntax correspondences, and knowing these regularities can help an L2 learner assign correct syntactic structures to verbs.
However, there are some complex types of verbs that are subject to greater argument structure variation, which pose difficulty for many L2 learners. These verbs may appear in different syntactic structures but have the same arguments, or may appear in the same syntactic structures but have different arguments.
For example, the locative verb load links an object to a place it can be moved and can participate in alternation as follows.

(1) Mary loaded the truck[ground] with hay[figure].
(2) Mary loaded the hay[figure] onto the truck[ground].
Both native speakers of English and Korean consider the direct object, “the truck,” in (1) to be completely loaded, whereas they do not show this holism effect when interpreting (2).
However, to participate in the locative alternation, broad class is not a sufficient criterion. Figure verbs and Ground
