Abstract

This paper aims to standardize the terminology of the horizontal members of vernacular timber houses in Japan. First the horizontal members were systematically encoded after the diverse framework systems were categorized. Secondly the standard names of the horizontal members were defined according to the description in the repair reports of the houses by analyzing their placement and function. Then validity of the standard names was checked comparing with the existing glossaries and literatures. Finally consistency and generality of the terminology were revealed by extracting the image of the word sense divided into a root word and a prefix.
