 An interjection, sometimes called a filled
pause, 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. Interjections are uninflected
function words that express the attitude
or emotion of the speaker. They are used
when the speaker encounters events
that cause these emotions --
unexpectedly, painfully, surprisingly or in
many other sudden ways.
