Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I have first created a Japanese - Russian parallel corpus, based on the text of short stories. In total there are 9 corpora: 7 from Japanese text and 2 from Russian text. It has been specifically formatted for a side-by-side comparison.
This study considers the question of how we express intentional events involving an agent that is unspecified or unimportant. To answer this question, data were collected from the above-mentioned parallel corpora. After collection, the data were analyzed in detail to determine why these differences occur. In additional, I investigated the results of an awareness survey of those representations, in advanced Japanese learners. The difference between Japanese and Russian lies in the different ways of rendering for each language, that is, whether or not a speaker seizes and depicts events subjectively from the view point of the patient. The results of the study show that Japanese is a language with a high degree of subjectivity.
