Edit source

A declarative speech act is a type of speech act that is used to convey a statement or proposition . It is an utterance that serves the language function of making a claim , stating a fact , or expressing a belief . The primary purpose of a declarative speech act is to provide information or convey a message to the listener.

For example, consider the statement Evolution is a fact . In speech act theory :

Locutionary act : The locutionary act in this sentence is the assertion that evolution is a fact. The sentence makes a statement about the world, specifically about the theory of evolution.
Illocutionary act : The illocutionary act of this sentence could be to assert a belief , state a fact , or make a claim . The speaker’s intention could be to convince the listener of the validity of the theory of evolution, or to educate the listener about the overwhelming scientific evidence that supports this theory.
Perlocutionary act : The perlocutionary act of this sentence could be that the listener becomes convinced of the truth of the statement, learns more about the theory of evolution, and challenges any preconceived notions the listener may have had about evolution.
