Perlocutionary acts: Perlocutionary speech acts are acts of speech with which something is achieved. Illocutionary acts, on the other hand, are acts that are regarded as actions without any effect being assumed. Locutionary acts are determinations of a propositional content or facts, without taking into account any consequences of the utterance.
