We can say that the interjections act on the interlocutor leading him to adopt a certain behavior without that, for this, are necessary more elaborate linguistic structures. It is possible to consider the interjection as being a word-phrase what no plays a syntactic function by acting as a separate structure.
→ Look at the examples of interjections most recurrent in our language and what they express/indicate:
Hey!, forward!, hoo!, steady!, play! (Stimulus)
Sho!, out!, street!, play!, pass!, move! (Shifting)
Phew! Phew! Phew! (Relief, tiredness)
Ah! (pleasure, wonder, disappointment);
Psst! (attract the interlocutor's attention or for him to remain silent);
Oh! oh! hoo! hoo! (Happiness)
Ouch! Hey! (Ache)
Oh!, oh!, oh!, oop!, gosh!, wow!, chi!, guys!, huh?!, my God!, woah! (Amazing, surprise:)
Hello, hello, hello, hello!, psst!, psit!, oh! (Call)
Uh!, creed!, crosses!, Jesus!, ouch! (Fear)
Hopefully! Oh, God willing! I wish! (Desire)
Psst!, shut up!, be quiet!, closed mouth! (Request for silence)
Pay attention: the understanding of an interjection depends on the analysis of the context of the utterance.
We can say that the interjective phrases they are two or more words that form an expression with the effect of interjection. In general, when represented in writing, the interjections and the interjective phrases come followed by a exclamation mark (!).
