3. Interaction of Logical and Emotive Meaning 
Interjections and Exclamatory Words.
Interjections 
are words we use when we express our feelings strongly and 
which may be said to exist in language as conventional symbols of human emotions. 
In traditional grammars the interjection is regarded as a part of speech. But there is 
another view which regards the interjection as a sentence [13:51]. 
However a close investigation proves that interjection is a word with strong 
emotive meaning. 
e. g. 
Oh,
where are you going to, all you Big Steamers? 
Interjection “Oh ” here precedes a sentence and must be regarded as a part of it. 
Interjections can be divided into primary and derivative. 
Primary interjections
are 
generally devoid of any logical meaning. Derivative interjections may somewhat 
retain their logical meaning, though these meanings are always suppressed be emotive 
ones. 
Oh!, Ah!, Bah!, Pooh!, Gosh!, Hush!, Alas! 
are primary interjections , though 
some of them once had logical meaning. 
Derivative interjections
are 
Heavens!, Good gracious!, Lord !, God knows!, Bless 
m e! 
and others. There are a number of adjectives and adverbs which can also take on 
the function of interjections. They are 
terrible!, awful!, great!, wonderful!, splendid!, 
fine! 
etc. When they are used as interjections they are not used in their logical 
dictionary meanings [67]. In most cases they are used in their emotive meanings as 
intensifiers. Interjections like other words in the English vocabulary bear features of 
bookish, neutral 
and 
colloquial. 
Thus 
oh, ah, bah 
and others are neutral; 
alas, 
Lo,Hark 
are bookish; 
gosh, why, well 
are colloquial. But borderline between the three 
groups is broad. Sometimes therefore a given interjection may be considered as 
bookish by one and as neutral by another scholar or colloquial by one and neutral by 
another. Interjections are direct signals that the utterance is emotionally charged and 
insufficient attention to the use of interjections will deprive a person of a truer 
understanding of the writer ’s aims.

The epithet
is based on the interplay of emotive and logical meaning in an 
attributive word, phrase or even sentence, used to characterize an object and pointing 
out to the reader some of the properties or features of the object with the aim of giving 
an individual perception and evaluation of these features or properties [13]. 
Here a group of epithets helps the writer in a concise form to express the 
emotional attitude of a personage towards an object or phenomenon.
