Interjúa
Interjúa is a linguistic term used to designate a class of utterances that function primarily as interjections within discourse. The label is employed to distinguish non-propositional vocalizations from ordinary sentences and to emphasize their role in shaping interaction rather than conveying factual content. The term has appeared in online glossaries and scholarly blogs since the early 2020s and is not universally standardized.
