    John Searle's 1969 book "Speech Acts: An Essay in the Philosophy of Language" introduced his theory of speech acts, which argues that in addition to conveying information, utterances perform actions like requests, apologies, promises, etc. through accepted conventions. Searle analyzed how speakers perform different types of speech acts through their utterances and the conditions needed for the acts to be successfully carried out. The book was influential in the fields of linguistics, philosophy of language, and pragmatics.
