  • ”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.

Heels were made from wood, sometimes covered in leather or fabric. This limited their width and height to some extent and it was by Zita Thornton only in the 1950s that a steel rod was inserted in the heel and gave enough strength for there to be no limits to size. This quality was taken to extremes with the introduction of the stiletto from Italy. Meaning Ever since man first covered his feet with leaves secured by vines, little dagger these thin, high heels caused havoc with lino and were shoes have been essential items of clothing.

  • Welly Walking Trivia
    Cumbria County Council Active travel to school Wonderful Welly Trivia So what exactly are wellies? • Wellies are also known by many other names. • In Australia, South Africa and New Zealand they are known as Gumboots • In Ireland they are often referred to as Topboots • In Russia they are known as Rubberboots. Where did the idea for wellies come from? Wellies were first worn by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, and were based upon the Hessian boot. The Duke of Wellington had instructed his shoemaker to re-design the Hessian boot to make it more hard wearing and give extra comfort. This was the birth of the good old welly as we know it, before long everyone referred to the Duke’s new boots as ‘the Wellington.’ The Duke of Wellington’s style caught on quickly and many other British gentlemen copied the style. The Wellington was considered very fashionable during the 1840’s but at this stage was only made in leather. When wellies met rubber In 1852 two gentlemen by the names of Hiram Hutchinson and Charles Goodyear came together. Charles Goodyear had recently developed a process to cure rubber, called Vulcanization, and both individuals benefited from this new process. Charles Goodyear took his research into the tyre manufacturing market, whilst Hiram Hutchinson went into footwear. Hutchinson launched his footwear idea in France with a company called Aigle (meaning Eagle) His rubber footwear became a huge success here, with farmers very grateful to have their feet clean and dry for once. It sure beat the clogs they had been wearing! Rubber comes from the sap of the Havea Tree and is actually a natural product, contrary to the beliefs of many.
