Summary/Abstract: Usually defined as an atypical class of linguistic signals, within Relevance Theory interjections take on the function of communicative clues. The purpose of this paper is to attest whether translation guidelines set up within the framework of relevance theoretic approach are of help in transferring the analytical and contextual values of interjections from English to Romanian in layered texts. The research is illustrated with examples from a corpus of children’s literature considered by means of software tools involved in terminological research.
