摘 要 本研究旨在發展一個可以辨識屬類關係並能顯示類型間演化軌跡的類型方法論。有別於第一代 屬類分析方法論的生產規則，第二代方法論運用了一組類比於基因的抽象圖式進行類型的基因編 碼。在類型基因的五項層級中，最上層的「基礎圖式」以及「操作圖式」構成基型的結構，其餘層 級則為顯型的呈現。研究中發現6 項「基礎圖式」以及10 項「操作圖式」，足以解釋研究中普遍存 在於臺灣及中國東南漢民居的關鍵類型與變異類型，這顯示此方法論傳遞類型演化中動態訊息的能 力。本研究的價值在於透過建立基因譜，揭示類型學中複雜的屬類關係而非單純的分類，因而能更 接近對類型演化知識真實的理解。

ABSTRACT The research is aimed to launch a new methodology for typological study with the capacity of not only discerning taxonomical traits of house types, which can also reveal traces of evolutions among types. As opposed to the rule-based method, also known as the first generation methodology, the new approach employs a set of abstract schemas fashioned in the way not unlike the performance of genetic codes in life science. The analytical technique developed as such is therefore called Genetic Coding, which constitutes the hard core of the second-generation methodology. Among the five layers of coding system, “Basic Schema” and “Operative Schema”, the top two layers, are responsible for the formation of genotype structure and the rest layers are for phenotype presentation. 6 Basic schema and 10 Operative Schema are found valid so far that can sufficiently account for all examined cases of Han house type particularly in Taiwan and the southeast China region. Various forms of key type share quite similar if not the same genetic codes, which manifests capability of delivering dynamic evolution traces. It is remarkable as result that through the establishment of genetic pedigree, typology is shown to be complicated taxonomical relations instead of absolute classification, which is much closer to the true understanding of epistemic phenomena known as typological evolution.
