Interjection Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Interjection
An interjection is a part of speech that usually has no grammatical connection to 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, since 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. Also, interjections like "so" and "what" are rarely used in the sentences.
