Everything about Interjection totally explained
An
interjection is a
part of speech that usually has no
grammatical connection with the rest of the
sentence and simply expresses
emotion on the part of the speaker, although most interjections have clear
definitions.
Filled pauses such as
uh,
er,
um, are also considered interjections.Interjections are generally
uninflected function words and have sometimes been seen as sentence-words, because they can replace or be replaced by a whole
sentence (they are
holophrastic). Sometimes, however, interjections combine with other words to form sentences, but not with
finite verbs.
Interjections are used when the speaker encounters events that cause these emotions — unexpectedly, painfully, surprisingly, or in many other sudden ways. However, several languages have interjections that can't be related to emotions.
The word "interjection" literally means "thrown in between" from the
Latin inter ("between") and
iacere ("throw").
Interjections are words used to express strong feeling or sudden emotion. They are included in a sentence usually at the start to express a sentiment such as surprise, disgust, joy, excitement or enthusiasm.
Interjections show excitement, and emotion. They generally come at the start of a sentence followed by an exclamation point, or by a comma if the feeling's not as strong.
