Marcela Swiatkowska: Interjection. Between deixis and anaphora This paper deals with the problem of the construction of the meaning of interjection. This category of words is usually described as contextually dépendent. We claim that there are some semantic values in the interjection which décide about the choice the speaker is making. We refer to two notions deixis and anaphora in order to reveal what is the spécifie contribution of each interjection (deictic élément), what can be conventional and specifically mentorized, and what dépends on the context. We want to show that inteijections are indexical expressions, but that it is necessary. in order to identity other semantic constituents, to use the information given by the interpretive paraphrases, the previous context or the stereotyped knowledge.
