Still, there are a few types that come up repeatedly in the literature:
1. Representatives (aka constatives) involve (or “represent”) a state of things. These are assertions,
announcements, statements, claims, denials, disclosures, etc. An example sentence is I like cheese.
2. Commissives, as the name suggests, commit a speaker to do something. These are promises,
pledges, vows, guarantees, and so on. The utterance I’ll pick you up at 8 pm is a commissive.
3. Directives are designed to get the listener to act in some way. These are admonishments,
questions, dismissals, excuses, instructions, orders, requests, warnings, etc. An example is I dare
you to eat that entire bowl of wasabi!
4. Expressives (aka acknowledgments) let speakers convey their attitude or psychological state. These
are apologies, condolences, congratulations, greetings, thanks, and so on. I’m sorry to hear about
your mom’s illness is an expressive.
A locution is the phrase or sentence that has meaning (vocabulary) and structure (grammar). For
example, the sentence Pass the salt involves 1) the physical action of conveying from one person to
another and 2) a crystalline compound used to flavor food. That’s the meaning.
The illocution is the intention of the speaker. The person saying Pass the salt says so because—
wait for it—she wants the salt. Her intent, in other words, is to end up with the salt shaker in her
hand so she can use it.
There’s a third part of speech acts called the perlocution, it involves the listener. It’s the effect on
the hearer of the utterance, what is also called “uptake.”
Active listening refers to a pattern of listening that keeps you engaged with your conversation
partner in a positive way. It is the process of listening attentively while someone else speaks,
paraphrasing and reflecting back what is said, and withholding judgment and advice.
