First-person(describing whose knowledge is being discussed): Knowledge or perspective from your own point of view, about your own mind or body, rather than about someone else.
Reflexive constructions(the specific type of third-person language being discussed): Grammatical forms where a word refers back to the subject of the sentence, like 'himself,' 'herself,' or 'themselves'—basically when someone does something to or for themselves.
Shoemaker: A shoemaker is a craftsperson who designs, makes, and repairs shoes by hand or with tools. Historically, shoemakers were skilled artisans who would create custom footwear tailored to individual customers, though today the term can refer to anyone who professionally makes or fixes shoes. This trade is one of the oldest crafts, dating back centuries, and shoemakers were once central figures in communities before mass manufacturing took over shoe production.
