What is Understanding Speech Acts Theory about?

Speech Acts Theory analyzes language based on three levels: the locutionary level refers to the literal meaning of an utterance, the illocutionary level refers to the intention or force behind an utterance, and the perlocutionary level refers to the effect of an utterance on the listener. Utterances can have both direct and indirect speech acts, where the form and function either align or differ. The illocutionary level represents the stage between words and action.
