The document discusses speech acts according to J.L. Austin's Speech Act Theory. There are three types of speech acts: locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary.
The locutionary speech act is the actual utterance or words said. The illocutionary speech act is the social function or intention behind the utterance. The perlocutionary speech act is the consequent effect or response produced by the utterance.
Together, these three components - the locutionary utterance, illocutionary intention, and perlocutionary response - comprise a complete speech act. The document provides examples to illustrate the differences between the three types of speech acts.
