"Nashenme"is one of the high-frequency words in Modern Chinese Language. however, the academic circles pay less attention on fossilized structure"Nashenme",there is still room for deepening .A systematic study on this high-frequency words as"Na shen me"is quite meaningful on having a deeper understanding of"Na shen me"s' core semantic and grammatical function,and learning how to use"Na shen me"vivid and faithful.In this article,we use synchronic-diachronic, combining theory of grammaticalization ,discourse markers theory and text linguistics theory. Having a study on the using of fossilized structure"Nashenme".As a anaphora structure ,Fossilized Structure"Nashenme"has many remarkable characteristics, such as syntactic position,semantic meaning,textual function and so on.We also find it can act as a variety of components ,have a flexible syntactic positions.Due to"Nashenme"almost refer to the taboo, indecent or the abstract nature of things,it always played a role of"negative emotion"and"implicit evaluation".Its a important way to texture,which make the cohension of textusuccinct, the expression to be vivid, nature ,succinct, and vivid.On the basis of conversation analysis,we try to summarize the using pattern"Nashenme"based on its position,it has flexible using pattern,it have three kind of function,that is,"topic initiate marker","topic shift marker","topic continue marker", moreover,the textual function of"Nashenme"mainly embodies in explanation continuous relationship supplement and correction.Its conversation function mainly embodies in supplement on contents,mood relaxed expression of feelings and attitude prominency and so on.Because of the"Nashenme"as the has high frequency uses in the spoken language ,it becames the key point we study.On the basis of synchronic analysis,we try to find the sources of"Nashenme"and analysis on its curing process.It is not sure whether there have development relation between the example of"Nashenme"in Yuan Dynasty and the example of Modern Chinese Language. Possible usage of the"Nashenme"in the synchronal there exists development relationship.The formation of"Nashenme"is based on the grammaticalization of"Na"from definite reference indefinite component,and the maturation of"Nashenme"'s usage of non-interrogation. the linear position's approaching as well as the high usage frequency promote the solidification.Reasoning mechanism,Euphemistic expressions and Re-analysis are the change of motivation and motivation.
