INTERJECTIONS.

[Sidenote:  Definition.]

334.  Interjections are exclamations used to express emotion, and are not parts of speech in the same sense as the words we have discussed; that is, entering into the structure of a sentence.

Some of these are imitative sounds; as, tut! buzz! etc.

Humph! attempts to express a contemptuous nasal utterance that no letters of our language can really spell.

[Sidenote:  Not all exclamatory words are interjections.]

Other interjections are oh! ah! alas! pshaw! hurrah! etc.  But it is to be remembered that almost any word may be used as an exclamation, but it still retains its identity as noun, pronoun, verb, etc.:  for example, “Books! lighthouses built on the sea of time [noun];” “Halt! the dust-brown ranks stood fast [verb],” “Up! for shame! [adverb],” “Impossible! it cannot be [adjective].”

ANALYSIS OF SENTENCES.

CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO FORM.

[Sidenote:  What analysis is..]

335.  All discourse is made up of sentences:  consequently the sentence is the unit with which we must begin.  And in order to get a clear and practical idea of the structure of sentences, it is necessary to become expert in analysis; that is, in separating them into their component parts.
