This paper discusses construction meaning of ‘V+个+A’ from construction grammar perspective. So far, most studies have focused on whether parts of speech of 个 is quantifier or auxiliary word. However, we report ‘个’ become an auxiliary word through grammaticalization. According to construction grammar, sum of sentence components is not a meaning of sentence. That is one sentence has an independent meaning and components in the sentence can be determined depending on construction meaning. In this paper, we prove our hypothesis that is construction meaning of ‘V+个+A’ indicates high degree of hope, wish and goal and so on. When ‘V+个+A’ is used as a verb, the verb is constrained as an autonomous verb in due of construction meaning. Further, when ‘V+个+A’ is used as adjective, the adjective cannot be modified by a degree adverb. Besides, we study status of ‘V+个+A’ in a modern Chinese complement construction by comparizing the similarities and differences with other complements.
