This paper deals with the problem of the construction of the meaning of interjection. This category of words is usually described as contextually dependent. We claim that there are some semantic values in the interjection which decide about the choice the speaker is making. We refer to two notions — deixis and anaphora— in order to reveal what is the specific contribution of each interjection (deictic element), what can be conventional and specifically memorized, and what depends on the context. We want to show that interjections are indexical expressions, but that it is necessary, in order to identify other semantic constituents, to use the information given by the interpretive paraphrases, the previous context or the stereotyped knowledge.
