The modal adverb is one kind of adverb that its meaning is quite complex and its function is quite various in modern Chinese. They show unique nature in syntax, in semantics and in pragmatics, etc. This thesis selects the modal adverb"originally"as the study object, attempts to obtain from complex language phenomenon, take"three planes"as basic theory, utilize contrast analytic method and"the focal point analysis", etc.Obtains from the microscopic investigation's angle, take the widespread actual language materials investigation as the foundation, by the induction primarily, uses the method which induces and deducts unifies, confirms, altogether when the inspection and the lasted exploration unify,from the surface layer to inner layer, from the static state to dynamic state, from the description to the explanation, through analyze the material, makes every effort to investigate the essence characteristics and the function of the modern Chinese modal adverb"originally".Through analyzed, we saw"originally"displays the very big flexibility in the syntactic distribution, may make the component parts of sentences, may also make the conjoined element, link clauses to compose sentences, link the sentences to compose sentences group, link the engagement paragraph to compose chapter. In the syntax combination,"originally"may be present with the different parts of speech altogether, such as modal adverb, connection adverb, time adverb, the mood particle,the interjection,the modal particle,the copula"be".The modal feature of"originally"mainly displays in its nimble syntactic position and acts as the component parts ability, in the sentences expressed that storyteller's subjective emotion and the subjective understanding, usually are located at the most outer layer of the sentences, acts as the high-level predicate of a sentence .The modal adverb"originally"is developed by the time noun of"originally", through to put the dictionary explanation and the language materials in order, we abstract the basic semantics of the modal adverb"originally"is a mood paticle because discovered new situation; Its essential usage is appears in around language fragment which links up and in the relatively complete to express"explains", this kind of"explains"is generalized, is the logical relation, but non-syntactic relation. It not only includes strict significance causal relation explanation reason such as"because", but also includes explain the phenomenon which mentioned in front, realize the reason subjectively, the indirect explanation serves as the background narration and so on. The language section contains"originally"contains the basic semantic elements generally: Has some kind of phenomenon, the subjective feeling or the question; Explains this kind of phenomenon, the feeling and the doubts; No longer feel strange or the explanation result. In the article according to Mr. Xing Fuyi's compound sentence division theory, through analysis the sections of syntax and semantics which"originally"connects, we discovered that"originally"connects the clause composition, sentences or sentence group's semantic relations similarly cross causes and effects, transition, compound three broad headings.The function of modal adverb"originally"mainly manifests in: Has the appraisive function, the emphasis function, to indicate the preinstall and have a strong language function.
