"Na Zhidao" has three kinds of semantic connotation in the modern Chinese. The first meaning is "Who knows" used to express inquiry; the second meaning is "have no idea" used to express negation; the third meaning is "unexpectedly" used to express transition. Whether in oral or in written language, these usages are common. What is more, through the statistical of a large number of corpuses, we find that the frequency of use of "Na Zhidao" is the most highest in the chapter when it’s used as the textual conjunction of turn. However, so far, the specific research on "Na Zhidao" is fewer when it’s used as the textual conjunction of turn. It provides a very large research space for us.
