There are actually five types of speech acts, according to John sorry, the first one are the first
one is called assertive and assertive as they come in to speak to the truth of it expressed proposition.
So I can then say I have the salt that could be in the search.
And and that commits me to a truth saying that is actually true, that I have the salt.
The second one is called a directive.
So a directive causes the hero to take a particular particular action, for example, a request by answering
answering to or an order or something like that.
For example, salt.
No.
OK.
So that's an order.
So, for example, Solt now.
Like an order, maybe companioned with waving with a handpicks, want to make it a little bit more forceful.
The third one is called Commis so commiserates, they come in to speak to some future action like it
promised.
So, for example, I can have a promise when I say I will give you the sold when I'm done with it.
Right.
So that is a promise for the future.
And then fourth, we have Express's, so Express's are used to express emotions, so they express the
speaker's attitudes and emotions towards the proposition, for example, a thing so I can say delicious
Saltierra if I'm really thinking just all this delicious.
So that will be inexpressive.
But there is the last fifth one as well, which is the most interesting one.
Maybe all of them are interesting, but that is something that will hold on to a little bit more even
when we come into the metaphysics.
So they are called declarations.
So the declarations, they are different because they change the reality in accordance to in accordance
with the proposition of the declaration, for example, pronouncing someone guilty or someone husband
or wife and so on, or saying the meaning.
And now.
And the funny thing is that the meeting ends when I'm saying the sentence, so I actually making this
thing happen by using language and in the same way that the forms are very alike between intentional
states and speech acts, they are also related in a very interesting way.
So believes the intentional state, for example, salt in my hand, which is a belief that I have,
is related to assertive so I can actually just express that I have the salt.
Right.
Desires like these soared pass to me, that's a desire I would like to have the salt could relate to
directly to directive's.
So I desire this and therefore I give an order salt
Komisar directly related to intention's.
So I actually have an intention to pass this all to you later on.
And I can also express that as a promise saying I will give you the salt when I'm done with it.
Right.
And fourthly, the motives like I actually love salt could be expressed like delicious, delicious salt
as an expression.
So there is a one to one relationship between the different types of intentional states we talk about
and the different types of the four first speech types that we talked about.
