- Constatives are sentences that describe something as true or false (IS).
- Performatives are sentences that are meant to inspire action (DOES).
- Words in themselves are actions: SPEECH ACTS
- Actions include but are not limited to: ordering, promising, apologising, warning, sentencing, christening, marrying.
- Speech acts depend on reception, there are felicity conditions through which the performative can be enacted (performatives should have proper authority, be understood, clear and able to be executed).
- There is no certainty that the orders imparted through speech acts will be followed.
