All good and well
Introducing an objection in Dutch
Ton van der Wouden | Meertens Instituut
The Dutch expression goed en wel ‘good and well’ is polysemous. In one of its uses, goed
en wel combines with a universal quantifier alles or allemaal ‘all’ and the
conjunction maar ‘but’. The resulting construction is typically used to introduce a contrary reaction to an
earlier utterance or suggestion. The combination is shown to fit into a larger class of pragmatic operators, which are argued to
be instances of lexicalized pragmatics.
Keywords: pragmatics, construction, objection
