    This document discusses speech acts and their classification. It begins by defining speech acts as the utterances that speakers use to achieve intended effects. It then outlines the main types of speech acts: locutionary acts (the act of uttering), illocutionary acts (the social function or intent), and perlocutionary acts (the resulting act). The document goes on to discuss John Searle's classification of speech acts into five categories: assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declarations. It concludes by noting that speech acts are an important part of social interactions that require appropriate language use within a given culture.
