PHILOSOPHICAL NOTES.
The term INTERJECTION is applied to those _inarticulate_ sounds
employed both by men and brutes, not to express distinct ideas, but
emotions, passions, or feelings. The sounds employed by human beings
in groaning, sighing, crying, screaming, shrieking, and laughing, by
the dog in barking, growling, and whining, by the horse in snorting
and neighing, by the sheep in bleating, by the cat in mewing, by the
dove in cooing, by the duck in quacking, and by the goose in
hissing, we sometimes attempt to represent by words; but, as
_written_ words are the ocular representatives of _articulate_
sounds, they cannot be made clearly to denote _inarticulate_ or
_indistinct noises_.
