Verbs that participate in their argument alternation, the so-called locative alternation, have received considerable attention from the areas of syntax, semantics, and language acquisition. In particular, researchers have so far focused on the holistic interpretation that the locative alternation demonstrates. On the other hand, a few researchers have noticed that not all of the Spray/Load verbs listed in Levin (1993), which participate in the locative alternation, show the same syntactic behaviors in terms of a PP (prepositional phrase) omission test. Few researchers have explained why Pile-class verbs systematically show different syntactic possibilities from the Spray/Load verbs, even though they all participate in the locative alternation. In this paper I propose that unlike the Spray/Load verbs, the Pile-class may select transitive prepositional phrases as complements. I presented an analysis for the Pile-class, which is a subclass of the Spray/Load verbs. I also capture other aspects of the Pile class, based on the obligatoriness of the with phrase, the failure of the verbs to undergo the adjectival passive, the failure of the with phrase to prepose, and the failure of the Goal direct object to be raised in subject position.
