The first panel summarizes what goes on in the locutionary act.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| I am the "Speaker", and I am saying a statement. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| As the "Listener" or receiver of the message, all I should be concerned with, would be to analyze the speaker's message based on its three sub-levels of Locutionary Act--Phonic, Phatic, and Rhetic. | |
 | |  |

|
The second panel summarizes the illocutionary act or the speaker's intended meaning.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| I have said something in the first panel, and my intention may either serve as an example of Representative, Directive, Commissive, Expressive, or Declaration. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Hmm. What could he have meant when he said the statement in the first panel? | |
 | |  |

|
The third panel summarizes what goes on in the perlocutionary act.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| There's nothing much that I do here except to wait for the response of the listener. I hope though that he responds according to my expectations. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| If my assumption of what he meant by the statement is true, then I will have to respond accordingly. | |
