INTJ: interjection

Definition

An interjection is a word that is used most often as an exclamation or part of an exclamation. It typically expresses an emotional reaction, is not syntactically related to other accompanying expressions, and may include a combination of sounds not otherwise found in the language.

In keeping with the general tagging principles, a word used to signal an exclamation in a particular context does not automatically qualify as INTJ. For example, nouns and adjectives with emotionally valenced semantics should only be tagged INTJ in exclamations if such usage is considered to be lexicalized as a separate sense.

As a special case of interjections, we recognize feedback particles such as yes, no, uhuh, etc.
