Abstract: Nanosyntax is a syntax theory research direction that has received the attention of many modern grammarians. According to this theory, one of the critical points is that the decomposable syntactic units are much smaller than in the traditional view of syntax, and the linear relationships in syntactic order are much more precise than in previous research. A fragment is a sentence with a syntactic structure that does not follow the usual universal characteristics like other sentence types. Therefore, although it is of research interest and mentioned in many different works, this fragment syntax model and how to analyze this structure have not been fully understood yet. This article introduces some theoretical issues of nanosyntax from which to apply nanosyntax to isolate fragments initially. The author has observed (the corpus is collected from many texts) and statistically analyzed the microstructure to identify the nucleus, operator and related positions, thereby modeling fragment structures
