Résumé anglais From comparison to enunciative value : the case of aussi bien. The aim of this paper is to show that the adverbial phrase aussi bien, in its use as a connective or conjunct, is the result of a process of grammaticalization. It is indeed the grammaticalized form of the adjunct bien used in a comparative construction of equality. Theprocess involves an intermediary stage which corresponds to the additive value of aussi bien.The connective itself is an enunciative tool which enables the speaker to legitimate the utterance which it introduces by means of the preceding one, the comparative construction indicating that both utterances are equally true to reality.
