The present study aims at analyzing the narrative structure of the famous short story “The Gift of the Magi” by implementing Greimas’s (1966) Actantial Model. “The Gift of the Magi” is written by O. Henry. It is quite enigmatic to find out the real subject of the story as both Della and Jim seem to be the subject and object at the same time. The Actantial model of Greimas is a wonderful framework to solve this puzzle. Therefore, the study tries to identify the real ‘subject’ of the story, analyzing the text of the story by applying Greimas’ model of Actantial. Not only this, but the study also identifies the other actants’ roles such as the object, the helper, the opponent, the sender, and the receiver in the story, their contribution to the narrative structure, the character and non-character actants and their role in the development of the plot. The textual analysis of the narrative, by the implementation of Greimas’ model, shows that Della is the real ‘subject’ of the story, Jim the object and the receiver both, the non-character actant ‘Christmas’ as the sender, Della’s passion of love and sacrifice as the helpers and her poverty as the opponent.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on applying the two of the narrative syntax theories proposed by Algirdas Greimas to find the basic structures of fairy tales, namely the Narrative Quest Model and the Actantial Model, to analyze Hunger Games movie. As Greimas’ claims to have found theories which are applicable to all narrative structures, the writer is interested to see whether the two chosen theories are indeed applicable to scheme in the movie. The theories are not used to explore the theme or the message that underlies the story; instead it focuses mainly to find the basic structure of the narrative as trajectory and the schema or paradigmatic connection among the major elements in the story. The research uses descriptive qualitative approach in which the data are obtained through a series of thorough reading before the story is redacted into a summary. Afterwards, the summary is divided into smaller narrative units using the Narrative Quest Model and the major elements and characters of the story are selected based on their functions in Greimas’ Actantial Model.

AbstractA short story is one of the literary works that is not very long and generally focuses on a single event with one or two characters. This paper tries to describe the narrative structure in the story ツルã®æ©è¿”ã—. Source of data uses short story ツルã®æ©è¿”ã—, taken from https://www.wasabi-jpn.com. The research approach uses structuralism especially Greimas’s actantial scheme and the functional narrative model. The results show that the short story ツルã®æ©è¿”ã— formed by one functional narrative model and 6 actual schemes. The functional narrative model consists of initial situation, transformation stage (qualifying test, main test, glorifying test), and the final situation. From 6 actan schemes, there are 4 complete actantial schemes and 2 incomplete actantial schemes (actantial schemes without opponent). There are 6 acting roles that make up the short story ツルã®æ©è¿”ã—;sender, receiver, subjects, objects,  helpers, and opponent .

Through the characters of Zhenya and Boris, the film Nelyubov (2017) explores the issue of a toxic marriage. The story's theme reflects the complexities of the characters' relationships and the resulting problems. This theme adds intrigue to the film's problem articulation, particularly how the film's conflict can be constructed. Accordingly, this study seeks to identify the actant schemes created in the Nelyubov film. This study examines the location of individuals in the film using Algirdas Julien Greimas' Actantial Model theory. Further, this article employs Mills' Discourse Analysis and Smith's Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The results indicate representations for the subject, object, helper, opposer, sender, and receiver in the Nelyubov film, allowing for the fulfillment of the three kinds of axis: the axis of desire, the axis of power, and the axis of transmission/knowledge. The film's subject is Zhenya, and the object is the happiness he seeks.

This study aims to analyze plot structure in Collins’ The Hunger Games. There are several questions that researcher wants to find, what the elements of plot are, how do the elements of plot compose the plot structure of the story, and what kind of plot is applied in the novel. This study is a qualitative analysis by applying A.J. Greimas approach. The data were collected by reading, identifying, interpreting and analyzed using the approach and theories which used in this study by using actants. The result of this study were the elements of plot consist of beginning, problem of the story, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. To find out the main plot structure, this study classifies the function of each character into six actants, they are sender, receiver, subject, object, helper and opponent. Finally, the researcher concluded what kind of plot and how the ending of the novel is. The plot of the novel is dramatic or cronological plot because the story through in chronological order. In addition, the novel is closed plot because the problem of the story is solved.

Full textAbstract:
Class distinction has been an ongoing phenomenon throughout human history and has become particularly evident with industrialization. Marx's Theory of Classes explains how modes of production give rise to class distinction. For this reason, this study examines Marx's concept of class distinction and how the social effects of class distinction and the roles of ruler and ruled are reflected in cinema. By analyzing the film "Snowpiercer" directed by South Korean director Bong Joon-ho, the impact of cinema on the social structure and its semantic structures are discussed. In the study, Marx's Theory of Classes and Greimas' Actantial Model were employed to analyze the film. "Snowpiercer" deals with class distinction as a fundamental theme. The film focuses on the impact of class distinctions on society, and the roles of ruler and ruled within class distinction. The semiotic analysis of the film is based on Greimas' Actantial Model. This analysis aims to reveal the semantic structures of the movie and presents the findings.

This study aims to describe the actantial schema and functional structure of the German fairy tale "Die Gänsemagd". The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method. This method is used to determine the structure of actantial and functional models in the German fairy tale "Die Gänsemagd (The Goose Girl)" based on A. J. Greimas's theory. The data source in this study is a collection of German fairy tales by Brother Grimm (Deutsche Märchen von den Brüdern Grimm, Hauff, Beschstein und anderen) published by Artia Verlag, Prague in 1986. This study's data covered the unit of fairy tales that materialize in paragraphs, dialogues, and narratives of characters that show various conflicts following the research's objectives. The data were collected using documentation study techniques. Data analysis started by identifying the story's actantial and functional structure by reading the entire story content. After that, the actantial structure is determined by analyzing the characters' actions in the story to find their roles. The actantial structures that are determined are subject, object, opponent, assistant, and receiver. The analysis is continued by compiling a functional model by analyzing the story movement, which is divided into three parts; initial situation, transformation, and final situation. Based on the results of Greimas' narrative analysis of the German fairy tale "Die Gänsemagd," it can be concluded that there are two actantial schemas whose characters have several functions and roles in each schema. The first actantial schema consists of a subject, object, sender, receiver, assistant, with no opponent. Meanwhile, the second actantial schema consists of all the actants, namely, subject, object, sender, receiver, assistant, and opponent. The functional structure found in the story is the initial situation, the transformation (proficiency test stage, the main stage, and the glorious stage), and the final situation.

Full textAbstract:
Being the contemporary of Roland Barthes and also prominent scholar in French Semiotics, and also known for founding the Parisian School of Semiotics, Algirdas Julien Greimas, with his formal trainings in structural linguistics shaped the theory of signification by adding plastic semiotics. Indeed, his masterly contributions that had given a new direction in the study of narratives include the famous semiotics square, actantial model, concepts of isotopy, narrative programme and the semiotics of the natural world. However, the actantial model developed by Greimas in 1966 provided an analytical tool for studying various actions carried out by different actors (“actants”) in a real or fictional story. Although developed from the suggestion given by Vladimir Propp that his [Propp’s] seven dramatis personae such as ‘villain’, ‘donor’, ‘helper’, ‘princess/sought-for-person’, ‘dispatcher’, ‘hero’, and ‘false hero’ could be reduced further, Greimas proposed the actantial narrative schema with six actants that manifest their movements of relationship along the line founded on knowledge and power. However, the ‘false hero’ as one of the dramatis personae could be seen as important as, and as similar to, others in the narrative structure, its modality is quite interesting, and it tends to warrant an academic discussion to contemplate its morphology. Taking few examples from folktales and drawing insights from the Greimasian actantial model, this study presents the semiotic account of the ‘false hero’ to highlight the fact that the ‘false hero’ occupies a significant place not only within the real and fictional stories but also in daily life, by explaining the veridictory modality structure of truth and falseness. By drawing examples from folktales, this article comprehends the nature of the ‘false hero’, who is neither a hero nor a villain, for providing a grammatical framework that facilitates our smooth handling of the notion that is indispensably occupying our everyday life. Therefore, the significance of this paper is that it is lessening our efforts to decipher the nature of different characters in different forms of narratives and their presentations in different media.

Full textAbstract:
The study analyses Sohni Mahiwal, the renowned Punjabi folktale, by applying Greimas Actantial model for structural analysis. The purpose of this study is to explore the narrative structure and discover the character functions based on the model. Folktales are considered the simplest and oldest form of stories embedded in the local cultures. They broadly refer to orally transmitted, traditional narratives that carry cultural information. The findings show that all the major actantial categories proposed by Greimas such as subject, object, sender, receiver, helper, and opponent have been depicted in the selected folktale. The analysis revealed that many characters were found involved in several actant classes simultaneously. Structural analysis of the folktale uncovered two parallel acts/episodes. The parallelism in the contents of two acts of the tale serves a didactic function at the socio-cultural level besides entertaining the readers/ listeners proving the strength of true love. As far as the function is concerned, the tale successfully validates the culturally imparted message that the individuals who transgress the social norms are destined to perish.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>東方設計大學<br>文化創意設計研究所<br>106<br>In Taiwan, researches about analyzing Korean TV dramas in semiotic approach are rare and highly uncommon. Therefore, this research uses Algirdas Julien Greimas’s actantial model, along with semiotic theories of Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, as well as Charles Saunders Peirce to analyze characters in Pinocchio, a Korean drama in 2014 and to find the reason behind its sensational success. This qualitative research follows methods of textual analysis to analyze screenwriter’s development and arrangement of plot as well as characters. It also aims to clarify screenwriter’s intension and meanings behind such arrangement.
This research has found: 1. Pinocchio has a complete plot and theatrical structure. 2. The title of each episode is naming after fairy tales, novels, or dramas. Characters in the original stories can also be found in Pinocchio and hence provide more references to the plot. The brilliance of the screenwriter can thus be fully conveyed. 3. The actantial model of narrative is the same as that of characters. Both models evolve around the main actor, Ki Ha-myung’s actantial model and create dramatic effects that include teaser, inciting action, rising action, climax, and ending. 4. In terms of characters, the unresolved conflicts are created by two clans, a blood relation clan and a non-blood relation clan. Tension and imagination in Pinocchio are fueled by those conflicts. In terms of the plot, Song Cha-ok abandons the truthfulness of news in pursuit of power while Ki Ha-myung fights against lies and evil power in order to protect the truth. Whether it is between one character and another, or between characters and events, the trace of Greimas’s actantial model is undeniably clear.
To sum up, this research shows that the screenwriter’s deliberate plot arrangement complete Pinocchio’s dramatical structure. In addition, the conflicts, compromises, emotional responses, as well as character structure such as blood relation clan in the drama have definitely piqued audiences’ interest to watch the drama. By analyzing Pinocchio, this research builds a preliminary structure of Greimas’s actantial model on TV drama. This research could serve as a reference for those who aim to conduct research on TV drama and for Taiwanese screenwriters who are aspired to improve the quality of local TV drama.

Yao Yi-Wei’s plays Sun, Fei-Hu, the Snatcher of Wedding, The Emerald Bodhisattva, Shen-Sheng was better plays, but Shen-Sheng had researched less. This paper had researched the characters in Shen-Sheng from A. J. Greimas’ the actantial model. This paper first researched the history of Shen, Sheng, and knew that playwright adapted what point of history in Shen-Sheng. This study found that: First, Shen-Sheng’s adaption point was to display drama, but not display history. Second, the actantial model of narrative and the actantial model of characters didn’t had the same. Third, the actantial model of Li-Ji had four structure, introduction, support, reversal, climax. Fourth, Shao-Ji’s object was to save herself in sharp contrast to Li-Ji. Fifth, You-Shih was Li-Ji’s important helper, and he pushed the action. Sixth, the minor characters did not have object so can't structure the actantial model.

In tile art, one of the world-famous Turkish handicrafts, a wide variety of patterns are used on tile objects. The most common of these, after the tulip pattern, is the naturalist clove pattern. Different meanings are assigned to this pattern within the boundaries of form, color, and design. Identification and perception of these meanings has a special place within the frame of the culture that they relay. In this present study, the fields of meaning of the clove pattern frequently used in tile decoration arts among Turkish handicrafts are determined. By taking Greimas' Actantial Model as the theoretical model visual discourse analysis of the clove pattern is made.

The aim of this chapter is to explore at the Finnish Kemira Corporation how a corporation manages corporate social responsibility (CSR) and stakeholders' engagement. Greimas' actantial model and Senge's five disciplines were applied to evaluate CSR reports with a sociotechnical systems approach in relation to the stakeholders: (1) employees, (2) suppliers, (3) financiers and shareholders, and (4) communities and authorities. It was found that issues of CSR management and stakeholder engagement should be involved in strategic corporate decision making. The business strategy of the corporation emphasizes adherence to CSR guidelines and business standards that reflect the concerns of the stakeholders. CSR strategic procedures indicate the implementation of the corporation's measures to promote and pursue CSR goals that extend beyond their legal responsibilities.
