キャンディの位置を変え、にやりと口元を歪ませる。
Hi. I know I previously asked similar questions. But I just want to know if my following thinking can be a general tendency, if not a rule.
Using the causative form of an intransitive verb to talk about the movement of someone's body parts can imply his/her (internal) mental activities or emotions, for example, in the sample sentence, the subject is experiencing joy or excitement or something. But if we say 口元を歪める, we simply mean the subject twists his/her mouth. Besides, if we say XXの口元が歪む, then we suggest that something external has happened that forces the subject to do so.
I get this kind of explanation elsewhere but I'm not sure if this guidance applies to any verb that is connected to the movement of body parts.
What do you thinking of my reasoning? Does it make sense?
Thank you.
