Declarative Speech Acts

Declarative Speech Acts is a type of illocutionary act within the broader category of speech acts that characterizes utterances whereby the speaker changes the world via words directly, such as in declarations of war or pronouncing a couple married, distinguished from other speech acts by their immediate conformity between the propositional content and the resulting extralinguistic state of affairs.
