| Illocutionary acts: An illocutionary act is the execution of an action with the expression of a linguistic expression. This can be the expression of an intention, a feeling, a conviction or a wish. Other forms of speech such as locutionary, perlocutionary or propositional acts must be distinguished from this. See also Speech Theory, Perlocutionary Acts._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Jürgen Habermas on Illocutionary Acts - Dictionary of Arguments
III 375 Illocutionary Acts/Illocutionary Power/Habermas: Thesis: the illocutionary role of utterances should not be contrasted as an irrational power with the propositional component justifying the validity. III 376 Illocutionary Act/Habermas: indicates what claim of validity (truth, correctness or truthfulness) a speaker raises, how he/she raises it and for what he/she raises it. >Validity claims, >Truth, >Correctness, >Truthfulness. Illocutionary force: with it a speaker can motivate a listener to accept his speech act offer and thus enter into a rational motivated relationship. This concept presupposes that subjects capable of speaking and acting can refer to more than one world and that, by communicating with one another about something in one world, they base their communication on a commonly implied system of worlds. >Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas, >Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas, >Communicative rationality/Habermas. III 394 Illocutionary success is achieved at the level of interpersonal relationships, where communication participants communicate with each other about something in the world. In this sense, they are nothing inner-worldly, but extramundane, unlike perlocutionary effects that can be described as states in the world. >Perlocutionary acts. IV 114 Illocutionary Acts/Habermas: ironically, the binding effect of illocutionary forces comes about because the interaction participants can say "no" to offers of speech acts. The critical nature of this saying-no distinguishes such an opinion from a reaction based on mere arbitrariness. The listener can (...) be bound because he/she is not allowed to reject them arbitrarily, but only deny them, i.e. reject them with reasons. >Justification, >Reasons, >Rationality._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
