  6. Know your interjections:

    "Hmm" = really not sure
    "Hm" = not sure (defensive)
    "Mhmm" = how curious
    "Mmhm" = yeah sure (sarcastic)
    "Mhm" = okay then
    "Mm" = that's nice
    "Mmm" = that's really nice

  10. What are the most frequent interjections?

    Out now in Annual Review of Linguistics: Interjections at the Heart of Language. This review critically considers received views of interjections as involuntary grunts and provides a number of alternative ways of thinking about interjections. I would be very happy if you read it.

  15. Bob: Good god!

    God: Yes?

    Bob: Jesus! I didn't mean it!

    Jesus: What's going on?

    Bob: Fuck! No!

    Fuck: At your service!

    Bob: Holy crap! I'm not trying to invoke any of you!

    Crap (of the holy kind): Why are you disturbing me?

    Bob: Jumping Jehoshaphat! I'm digging myself into a hole!

    Jehoshaphat (jumping): What's the matter?

    Bob: By Jupiter! I keep messing up.

    Jupiter: What seems to be the matter?

    Bob: By George! When will this end?

    George: Hi!

    Bob: Surely, you jest!

    Shirley: What's on your mind?

    Bob: Argh! I can't take this anymore!

    Argh: You don't say.

  20. How should descriptive grammars cover interjections?

    Interjections are, in Felix Ameka’s memorable formulation, “the universal yet neglected part of speech” (1992). They are rarely the subject of historical, typological or comparative research in linguistics, and they are notably underrepresented in descriptive grammars. As grammars are the main source of data for typologists, this is of course a perfect example of a self-reinforcing feedback loop. How can we break this trend?
