Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present exclamations, that is, onomatopoeic interactions in Ruthenian language in Vojvodina, Serbia. A combination of field research and excerpts of the Ruthenian dictionary has collected the material that is the subject of this research. The collected material is analyzed in the context of the Slavic languages of the Carpathian region. The analysis has shown that one of the characteristics of onomatopoeic interactions is semantic non-transparency. These interactions does not signify more emotions, or the complex of ideas. A two-step analysis has shown that the languages and speeches of the Carpathian region often have very similar forms of onomatopoeic interactions and that the effects of other languages after the immigration to Bačka are not noticeable.
