 Locutionary act:


 This term refers to the surface meaning of an
 utterance.

 Example: my saying to you "Don't go into the water" (a
 locutionary act with distinct phonetic, syntactic and
 semantic features) counts as warning you not to go
 into the water (an illocutionary act), and if you heed
 my warning I have thereby succeeded in persuading
 you not to go into the water (a perlocutionary act).
 Illocutionary act:


   In uttering the locution "Is there any salt?" at the
  dinner table, one may thereby perform the
  illocutionary act of requesting salt, as well as the
  distinct locutionary act of uttering the interrogatory
  sentence about the presence of salt, and the further
  perlocutionary act of causing somebody to hand one
  the salt.
 Perlocutionary act:


  Consider the utterance "By the way, I have a CD of
  Debussy; would you like to borrow it?“

  Its illocutionary function is an offer, while its intended
  perlocutionary effect might be to impress the listener,
  or to show a friendly attitude, or to encourage an
  interest in a particular type of music.
