Dear Ponwaree, Jocelyn and all,
Marine Vuillermet and I were just discussing the complexities of auto-citation and auto-promotion in the backstage ;-).
So I'm taking this opportunity to mention that my 2013 thesis is actually also a published volume :
Ponsonnet, Maïa. 2014. The language of emotions: The case of Dalabon (Australia). Benjamins.
https://ln5.sync.com/dl/ed922c5e0/rbvug5qx-yfzrs8sv-ubkem6ht-376fbymz
I would personnally lean towards putting interjections with the lexicon, but maybe that's just me...
Kind regards,
Maïa

Dear Ponrawee Prasertsom,
I realized that I should have pointed towards some references on this
aspect.
As Ponsonnet and Vuillermet's edited volume on "Morphology and emotions
across the world's languages" has been already been mentioned, but
Ponsonnet also worked on interjections and emotions :
PONSONNET, Maïa, et al. The Language of Emotions in Dalabon (Northern
Australia). 2013. Thèse de doctorat. Australian National University, p.123.
I like Norrick's proposition of interjectional phrase:
Norrick, N. R. (2011). Interjections. Pragmatics of society, 243-292.
Best regards,
Jocelyn
