INTERJECTIONS EXPRESSING ASTONISHMENT (SURPRISE, AMAZEMENT)

• Languages of publication: CS

Abstracts

EN

This paper analyzes interjections expressing astonishment in dialogues from contemporary fiction. It describes them on the syntactic level, where they are not incorporated in clauses as clause elements, but rather, they function as a means of clause-formation. Interjections do not express ideas, but emotions of astonishment (e.g. surprise or amazement) with which other emotions are connected. A detailed classification of the individual interjections is presented on the phonetic (graphic) and morphological levels from both formal and lexical semantic points of view, and the considerable variability of the analyzed interjections is commented on.
