Abstract

Taking J. L. Austin's preliminary treatment of perlocution as its starting point, this essay provides an analysis of perlocutionary acts into five types, subsumes those type under two covering genera, then proposes a set of conditions as necessary and sufficient for the consummation of any perlocutionary act.
