The paper deals with studying special characteristics of the causative verbs to make and to cause. Certain parameters were determined to analyze the type of causation MAKE and CAUSE. The parameters are as follows:
1) expression of cause and effect relations;
2) animateness/ inanimateness of subject and object of causation;
3) intentionality of action performed by a subject of causation;
4) stylistic factor. The results show that the given verbs being causative have differences in semantics.
