A speech act is any utterance that serves a function in communication. For example, speech can be used to make statements, ask questions, apologize, describe, or persuade, among many other uses. In a speech act, words are used to do something, not just to say something.
In analyzing an utterance, Austin (1962, 1976) introduces three constituent elements, namely the locutionary act (the act of speaking something), the illocutionary act (the act in speaking something), and the perlocutionary act (the act performed by speaking something).
