| 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. See also Speech Acts Theory, Illocutionary Acts._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Jürgen Habermas on Perlocutionary Acts - Dictionary of Arguments
III 394 Perlocutionary Acts/Habermas: perlocutionary effects can be described as states in the world brought about by intervention. Illocutionary success, on the other hand, is achieved at the level of interpersonal relations at which communication participants communicate with each other about something in the world. In this sense, they are nothing inner-worldly, but extramundane. >Speech acts/Strawson, >P.F. Strawson. >Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas, >Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas, >Communicative rationality/Habermas III 395 Strawson has shown that a speaker achieves his illocutionary goal that the listener understands what he/she is saying without revealing his/her perlocutionary goal. This gives perlocutions the asymmetric character of covert strategic actions in which at least one of the participants behaves strategically, while deceiving other participants that he/she does not meet the conditions under which normally illocutionary goals can only be achieved. Cf. >Meaning/intending/Grice, >P. Grice. Therefore, perlocutions are not suitable for the analysis of coordination of actions, which are to be explained by illocutionary binding effects. >Actions/Habermas, >Action Systems/Habermas, >Action theory/Habermas. This problem is solved if we understand communicative action as interaction in which all participants coordinate their individual action plans and pursue their illocutionary goals without reservation._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
