תקציר	Comparative typological analysis is a systematic method for classifying phenomena into types and then examining how those types differ, overlap, or share structural features across multiple cases, contexts, or cultures. Widely applied in linguistics, archaeology, law, and the social sciences, it moves beyond single-case typology by placing type systems in dialogue with one another to identify cross-cutting patterns, universals, or culturally specific configurations.	Hermeneutic analysis is a qualitative interpretive method for uncovering the meaning of texts, documents, spoken discourse, or human actions. Rooted in 19th-century biblical and legal scholarship and systematised by Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Gadamer, and Ricoeur, it operates through the hermeneutic circle: the meaning of a part is understood through the whole, and the meaning of the whole is revised as parts are interpreted. The goal is not to measure or code, but to achieve a deepening, dialogic understanding of the object of interpretation.
