| In particular, speech act theory is built on his discussion of locution, illocution, and perlocution. |
|
| But he moves beyond Austin and Searle's tripartite distinction between locution, illocution, and perlocution. |
|
| Meaning corresponds with illocution, while significance is best related to perlocution. |
|
| These implicit aspects of the message go beyond the locutionary act itself and also beyond the explicit aspects of its illocution. |
|
| Perlocutions are characteristic aims of one or more illocution, but are not themselves illocutions. |
|
| I can both urge and persuade you to shut the door, yet the former is an illocution while the latter is a perlocution. |
|
| An assertive illocution can be regarded as unmarked, while interrogative or imperative illocutions are marked, for which there are two reasons. |
|
| We can illustrate the distinction between illocution and perlocution by looking at the difference between warning and convincing. |
|
| When an interlocutor proffers an assertion that is not met with objections by others in the conversation, the Propositional content of that illocution will enter into common ground. |
|
| When an interlocutor poses a question that is accepted by others, we may represent the change as an addition to Common Ground of the set of propositions that is the Interrogative content of that illocution. |
|
| Illocution refers to the 'type' of utterance as in a request to turn on the heater. |
