Annotation
A study of the interactive functions and formal properties of German interjections HM and NA, confirming the validity of Ehlich's approach to interjections. Comparison of the adults' and the children's use of interjections revealed that the children had acquired the basic forms and functions of the interjections, but did not yet grasp the interjections' plurifunctionality.
