Answer 1

According to the sentences above, we can state that sentences 5, 7, and 10 are part of the speech act known as Locution. Sentences 3, 6, and 9 are part of the speech act known as Illocution. Sentences 1, 2, 4, and 8 are part of the speech act known as Perlocution.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• Speech acts refer to the form and goals of spoken sentences.
• Among these speech acts, we can call Locution those that express sentences that are spoken to capture a literal and traditional meaning.
• We can call Illocution the sentences spoken to express a specific intention of the speaker.
• We can call Perlocution the spoken sentences to provoke a specific effect on the listener.
