The
meaning of an interjection might be expressed by a parenthetical sentence.
Examples:
“My
son (I am sorry to say) died yesterday”.
Observe
that a sentence substituted for an interjection is always parenthetial.The
sentence “I am sorry to say” is as completely isolated from the sentence “My
son died yesterday” by the parenthesis as the Interjection “alas!” is isolated
from it by its own nature.
