Résumé anglais Interjection is conceived in this paper as an epistemic modaliser whose function on the utterance level is that of an evaluation marker. The interjection as a linguistic sign is at the same time an index, an icon and a symbol. Describing the uses of the Romanian interjections VAI < vae lat. and Z?U < Deus lat., the author conjectures that these interjectional modalisers undergo a grammaticalization based upon generalized delocutivity and axiological investment. The argument focusses on the grammaticalization of VAI, whose gradual conversion from exophrastic to endophrastic use relies on seven steps.
