Through the combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis,description and interpretation,synchronic and diachronic,and comparative analysis,this paper makes a multidimensional study of the "Na(拿)" sentence in modern Chinese based on the relevant theoretical knowledge of three plane theory,structuralist linguistics,grammaticalization and cognitive linguistics.The first chapter analyzes the semantic source,semantic evolution,grammaticalization mechanism and motivation of the word "Na(拿)",and uses the theoretical knowledge of cognitive linguistics to explain the semantic change of the word"Na(拿)" from a cognitive perspective.At first,the word "Na(拿)" was a popular form of"Na(拏)" and "Na(挐)",which first appeared in the Tang Dynasty.After semantic evolution and grammaticalization in previous dynasties,it finally became a typical verb intermediary word in modern Chinese.The grammaticalization of "Na(拿)" is realized under the joint action of appropriate semantic basis and appropriate syntactic environment.Analyzing the semantic evolution of "Na(拿)" from the theoretical perspectives of cognitive linguistics,such as prototype category theory,family similarity theory,metaphor mechanism,image schema and cognitive model,will help to deepen the understanding of the semantic evolution mechanism of "Na(拿)" and the relationship between different semantics.The second chapter studies the syntactic,semantic and pragmatic characteristics of"Na(拿)" sentence in modern Chinese.Syntactically,"Na(拿)" sentence has four most common structural types,has a variety of syntactic functions,and can be combined with multiple negative adverbs.In terms of semantics,"Na(拿)"sentence can express tools,disposal and topics,and concrete things,abstract things,people,actions and complete events can become the objects cited by "Na(拿)".Pragmatically,"Na(拿)" sentence has the function of topic marking,highlighting focus and text.Among them,the function of topic marking and text are mainly reflected in the "Na(拿)" sentence of expressing topic,and the function of highlighting focus is mainly reflected in the "Na(拿)" sentence of expressing disposal.The third chapter makes a syntactic,semantic and pragmatic comparative analysis of the "Na(拿)" sentence in modern Chinese with the "Yong(用)"sentence of the table tool,the "Ba(把)" sentence of the table disposal and the "Jiu(就)" sentence of the table topic."Na(拿)" sentence and the other three related sentence patterns have some similarities in syntax,semantics and pragmatics,but there are also differences.In the process of language expression,their choice needs to be based on their respective syntactic,semantic and pragmatic characteristics,and make an appropriate choice according to different language expression needs.
