convey an emotion, then begin to be understood as an interjection.

convey intense emotion, are then characterized by having ways to try to
represent onomatopoeically the sound of what you want to convey.

Expressive interjections:

of the speaker, which nevertheless has no words –more than specific
interjections- to articulate the emotion that he feels.

Exercises:
