“Gou” (够) plays a crucial role in teaching Chinese as a second language, making it essential for learners to master the concept of “Gou X” construction. This study examined the syntactic function and usages of the “Gou X” construction through the analysis of the CCL Modern Chinese Corpus from Peking University. The research focused on understanding the part of speech of “Gou” and its various syntactic functions within different frameworks. The findings revealed that (1) the dictionaries and textbooks on Chinese as a foreign language have different opinions on the part of speech of the “Gou”. The part of speech of “Gou” varied based on its meaning and contextual usage. (2) The “Gou X” construction exhibited richness, complexity, and varied syntactic functions. (3) In the “Gou X” construction, the most common structural form is “Gou + monosyllabic noun”, “Gou + noun with emotional meaning”, “Gou + verb” and “Gou + adjective”. Among them, “Gou + adjective” is the most widely used. The study concluded by providing pedagogical suggestions based on the research findings.
