American philosopher John Searle in his seminal work Speech Acts (1969) and in his later works (1976, 2010). Both philosophers were concerned with the structure of utterances with respect to their meaning, use, and the action they perform. Austin proposed a three-way taxonomy of speech acts, namely locution, illocution, and perlocution.

Speech acts are often (but not always) patterned, routinized utterances that speakers use to perform language functions, such as thanking, complimenting, requesting, refusing, apologizing, and complaining. In many scholarly and classroom contexts, the terms pragmatics and speech acts are used interchangeably.
