metadata.value: The article analyzes the features of agentive somatic constructions in Japanese based on the
  material of the author’s parallel syntactically marked Russian-Japanese corpus of examples,
  where the cases of the inanimate subject’s influence on a person marked for the Japanese cognitive
  language norm are documented. These cases violate the hierarchical representations of
  the Japanese and their cognitive ideas about the surroundings. The work describes the uses
  of somatic words both in the subject and in the object positions with the interpretation of
  their agentive features, considering their ontological association with a person as the center
  of action deployment in Japanese. Such kind of the Russian agentive somatic constructions
  requires transformation when they are translated into Japanese; thus, the linguo-cognitive
  analysis of Russian-Japanese analogues explains the peculiarities of the agentive use of Japanese
  somatics in terms of cognitive perception of their semantic and syntactic roles. At the
  same time, in the object use of somatics their special subspecies are distinguished: additional
  actants absent in the original text, performing the functions of softening the causative force,
  introduced in this work as “damping” actants. As a result, the concept of “cognitive depreciation”
  is introduced into scientific discourse, meaning a softening of the emotional impact,
  which is necessary in Japanese for the transformation of a cognitively incorrect agentive statement
  containing a causative anthropologically oriented component with an inanimate subject
  as a causator. The final goal of the work is to determine the agentive status of Japanese somatics
  and its interpretation.
