Abstract

This research discusses how structural studies in the form of actants contained in the folklore of Nyi Mas Kanti. The purpose of this study is to find out how the actant scheme in the Nyi Mas Kanti folklore affects the characteristics of each character in the Nyi Mas Kanti folklore. In this folktale, AJ Greimas' structural theory is used to analyze the actants contained in the Nyi Mas Kanti folktale. Based on AJ Greimas' structural theory, the actant scheme is divided into six pieces, namely, sender, receiver, subject, object, helper and opponent. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive. The method is used to describe the actants contained in the folklore of Nyi Mas Kanti in depth. The results of the analysis of the actants in the Nyi Mas Kanti folktale are 20 actants that represent the entire Nyi Mas Kanti folktale. Of the twenty actants, 12 of them experience zeroization and 8 are actants with intact functions. In addition, there are several actants whose functions are occupied by one role. There are also actants whose functions are occupied by several roles.
