ABSTRACT
Interjections are emotive words which above all belong to the spoken language. Many interjections are completely spontaneous exclamations and as such they represent a type of word that goes right back to the earliest stages of language as we know it. They are indeclinable and peripheral in the language in the sense that they are independent of the clause structure. For this reason they are often marked off from the rest of the sentence by a comma: https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table">
