perlocutionary and illocutionary
For my second blog I am going to continue concentrating on chapter 17. Before class I was completely confused about perlocutionary and illocutionary. Perlocutionary acts are external while illocutionary acts are internal. Perlocutionary someone else must be involved to have it true (the books uses the example of persuade because even though one person is doing the persuading they must have another person who are they trying to persuade do what they are trying to make them do). Illocutionary would be more while I person is saying it happens (the book uses the example of promise because once a person says it a promise is made).
I heard the song today- illocutionary
She complained about her grade to her teacher- Perlocutionary
I ran into my next door neighbor at the store- illocutionary
Can I borrow your book? – perlocutionary
I need to convince her to cover my shift- perlocutionary.
Are these correct?

So if your visiting your parents house and say: "Man, I'm really hungry", the locution is the actual sentence; the illocutionary effect is to 'ask for food' or 'announce hungriness in order to be offered food'; the perlocutionary effect, external, might be receiving food or being told to go to the store.
