Speech acts could be in the form of promises, warnings, requests, greetings, apologies, or any
form of pronouncement. It can be done through the Direct act or Indirect act.
Direct Act. It is in a declarative form carried out only by means of expressing them
clearly.
Indirect Act. It is an interrogative structure that asks a question.
3 Types of Speech Acts
1. Locutionary Act. It is “How to Do Things with Words,” according to British
Philosopher J.L. Austin in his 1962 book. It is said to be an utterance in the act of
speech. It is an act that gives meaning to the statement. It consists of a verbal expression
such as a word or a sentence.
ex. “Do not go into the light.”

 2. Illocutionary Act. It refers to the use of sentence or expression or execution of
something specific utterance. A talker’s intention whether it is a way of warning,
ordering, informing, etc. ex. “I warned you to be careful in choosing the house.”
