| Research Abstract |
As for the terminology of Japanese houses, creating the database on the correspondence among the various literatures, the advisable terms have been proposed. Then analyzing the prefix and root of each word, credibility of the image of the terms has beenverified according to the result of interviews with knowledgeable persons. As for the comparison of the terminology between Japan and Britain, based on the concept of timber construction and historic transition, the comprehensive typology of the cross frames of vernacular houses has been shown contrastively. Then schematizing the comparison of the meaning of the terms, differences of the terms have become understandable visibly and systematically.
