Speech act is a technical term in linguistics and the philosophy of language. Precise conceptions vary. In general, "speech act" refers to the act of successfully communicating an intended understanding to the listener. Speech acts also include greetings, criticism, invitations, congratulations etc. This is different from the term "locutionary act", which is the specific and physical act of creating an utterance. While a locutionary act is required for a speech act to occur, the locutionary act represents simply the physical sounds uttered, or the scribbles written, which will then need interpretation. Because of this difference, "speech act" is often considered a synonym for John Searle's term "illocutionary act", explained below.
