The benefactive alternation is one of the widely known alternations in English. This article addresses the question of what kinds of thematic roles are involved in the for-phrase in a prepositional benefactive form and the first object in the corresponding double object form, and argues that the two forms have basically the same semantic structure: the difference arises from a difference in profiling of thematic roles. It is shown that the benefactive, the dative, and the locative alternations can be similarly accounted for.
