1986 J. S. Bruner Actual Minds, Possible Worlds 65 Language..consists not only of a locution, of what is actually said, but of an illocutionary force—a conventional means of indicating what is intended by making that locution under those circumstances.

1991 J. G. du Plessis in P. J. Hartin & J. H. Petzer Text & Interpr. 131 Austin identified the effect than an utterance has. By producing language (the locution) with a specific purpose (illocution) the speaker attains a specific effect or consequence with his utterance.

2013 J. H. Walton & D. B. Sandy Lost World Script. 220 In recognition of this perlocution.., we could conclude that though the locutions found in the Pentateuch could serve as laws, that is not their illocution in the literary context.
