     Why?

     With a *lot* of *hard* work you *might* be able to discover the
string "valueInt" -- you'd probably need to find the caller (which
might be in a method of some completely different class), disassemble
that class' bytecodes, work your way backwards to the .class file from
which they came (if one exists), and hope there's enough ancillary
debugging information lying around in the .class file, and then ...

     ... of course, all this may come to naught if there is *no* name
corresponding to the argument, as in

	function(valueInt ^ 42);

     So, again: Why do you want to do this?  Are you hoping to get

	function(valueInt);
	function(otherInt);
	function(intangible);

to print something like

	valueInt = 10
	otherInt = 42
	intangible = -99193

?  What's your goal?
