摘要

臺灣原住民具有豐富的口傳神話。其中的洪水再殖型神話屬於一種世界性的故事類型。本文對41篇臺灣洪水再殖型神話文本的情節單元進行了分解，認為它們可以分為兩個亞型。亞型I以阿美族為代表，亞型II以賽夏族為代表。與大陸同類型神話相較，亞型II與苗瑤語族、藏緬語族的情節基幹比較相似，但可變母題存在較大差異。文章比較了臺海兩岸洪水再殖型神話在7個方面的異同，認為這些珍藏的族群記憶將為揭示民族之間的親疏關係提供線索。

Taiwan's indigenous people have rich oral mythos. In which the type of flood-rebirth myth belongs to one kind of the worldwide story type. In this article, we decompose the plot units of its 41 texts and divide them into two subtypes. The subtype I takes the Algerian-US race as representative, the subtype II takes the Sai-xia race as representative. Comparing with the same type myth of the mainland, we find that the plot skeleton of subtype I is quite similar with the two language branches of Miao-Yao and Tibeto-Burman, but not so as the in variable motif. Besides these we have compared the type flood-rebirth myth in both banks of Taiwan Straits with 7 similarities and differences. Through studying we think that these ethnic memories will provide the clues to reveal the friend or stranger relations between nationalities.
