The paper attempts to clarify the semantic differentiations of polysemantic interjections in the Yakut language, depending on the situation of communication and general context. Intonation, gestures and facial expressions of communicants are particularly important for an adequate perception of diffused interjections which in their turn can also be polysemantic. Fiction literature is a rich source to define more exactly not only the meanings of interjections, but the description of the sphere of these units’ functions.
Keywords: Interjection, Non-Verbal Communication, Emotional State, Context, A Communicant.
