  • ”Shoes”: a Componential Analysis of Meaning
    Vol. 15 No.1 – April 2015 A Look at the World through a Word ”Shoes”: A Componential Analysis of Meaning Miftahush Shalihah [email protected]. English Language Studies, Sanata Dharma University Abstract Meanings are related to language functions. To comprehend how the meanings of a word are various, conducting componential analysis is necessary to do. A word can share similar features to their synonymous words. To reach the previous goal, componential analysis enables us to find out how words are used in their contexts and what features those words are made up. “Shoes” is a word which has many synonyms as this kind of outfit has developed in terms of its shape, which is obviously seen. From the observation done in this research, there are 26 kinds of shoes with 36 distinctive features. The types of shoes found are boots, brogues, cleats, clogs, espadrilles, flip-flops, galoshes, heels, kamiks, loafers, Mary Janes, moccasins, mules, oxfords, pumps, rollerblades, sandals, skates, slides, sling-backs, slippers, sneakers, swim fins, valenki, waders and wedge. The distinctive features of the word “shoes” are based on the heels, heels shape, gender, the types of the toes, the occasions to wear the footwear, the place to wear the footwear, the material, the accessories of the footwear, the model of the back of the shoes and the cut of the shoes. Keywords: shoes, meanings, features Introduction analyzed and described through its semantics components which help to define differential There are many different ways to deal lexical relations, grammatical and syntactic with the problem of meaning. It is because processes.

  • Shoes, Ships, and Survival
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Salem Maritime National Historic Site Salem, Massachusetts SHOES, SHIPS, AND SURVIVAL By John Frayler, Historian Y Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions Z Historical musings from Salem Maritime NHS Volume III, No.3 May 2002 The recent return of a number of excavated 19th century shoes to Salem Maritime NHS from the National Park Service's conservation lab at Harpers Ferry Center in West Virginia begs an opportunity to explore a long hidden aspect of Salem's maritime history. In December 1997, the collapsing seawall of the former Tucker's Wharf site at the eastern edge of the park was undergoing repair. The machinery exposed the timbers of what had once been a launching way from the shipyard of Benjamin Hawkes at the foot of Kosciusko Street next to Derby Wharf beach. Initially Hawkes, with his partner John Babbidge, had a boat building establishment at this location dating from the early 1790s. By 1819, Hawkes expanded the scope of production to building ships and the area functioned as his shipyard until 1829. The area was filled in over the years, and the granite block seawall licensed to be built in 1888. While examining the earth removed from the immediate proximity of the wall, all sorts of things appeared. For many years, objects have been found in the mud flat adjacent to the wall and the beach. Rubbish was dumped there for more than 100 years, and things constantly wash up with the tides. So much material accumulated over the years that the local nickname for the area was "glass beach." Curiously, in addition to the huge amounts of broken ceramics and glass, which survived the ravages of nature, leather also has preserved exceptionally 2 well.

The change from older stages to the modem Factory Stage has been comparatively recent, and survivals of earlier forms have existed within the memory of the old men of today.
