This paper presents an investigation into whether “X” in the “X-hada” construction would be a root or noun. 2-word Sino-Korean “X” can happen in three locations: the predicative construction happens in a predicative location(X-hada), the adnominal construction happens in an adnominal location(X Y), and the adverb construction happens in an adverb location(X Y-hada). The study used the tagged corpus during the Enlightenment Period. The corpus data had a high frequency of Sin-Korean roots in the genres of old novels and newspapers. 2-word Sino-Korean “X” is categorized into Type A in a predicative location(X-hada), Type B in an adnominal location(X Y) and Type C in an adverb location(X Y-hada) according to locations. They take place in all the three locations or only two or one location according to the characteristics of individual nouns. 2-word Sino-Korean “X” comes in the realm of Korean grammar with a status of noun. It can play a predicative, adnominal, and adverb role without combining with “hada”. “X Y-hada” in an adverb construction can be divided into the conjunctive and modifier construction according to the relations between X and Y. The X in the modifier construction seems to have its function converted into an adverb.
