description The article contains a study of the most controversial problems in interjections theory – the criteria of classification and the issue of semantics of these specific linguistic elements. The paper argues that traditional parameters – prototypical, morphosyntactic, semantic and grammatical – are not relevant for all subclasses of interjections. The common claim about the meaning of interjections as signifying feelings or states of mind is too narrow and couldn’t be referred to such categories as volitive (conative) and etiquette interjections. As new criterion common for all subclasses the attitudinal reference is suggested, which definitely separates this heterogeneous class from all other parts of speech with denotative or descriptive reference. To name these two main groups of linguistic signs the neosemantization of rarely used linguistic terms is offered: “pragmeme” (for interjections) and “semanteme” (for the linguistic signs with denotative meaning).
