'''Internal argument''' is the [[argument]] of a [[verb]] that has to be realized inside the [[maximal projection]] of that verb. Each verb may have one or more internal arguments. The argument which is closest to the verb is sometimes called the direct internal argument, while the others are called the indirect internal arguments.

=== Example ===

the argument structure of the English transitive verb ''open'' contains an [[external argument]] (Agent) and two internal arguments (Theme and Instrument) as can be inferred from the sentence ''Tom opened the door with his key'', where ''the door'' is the direct internal argument, and ''with his key'' the indirect internal argument.
