    The document discusses illocutionary speech acts, which refer to the intention behind the sentences spoken, rather than just their literal meaning. It provides the example of saying "It's so dark in this room" as a request to turn on the light, showing the illocutionary act is the intention rather than just a statement. The document categorizes illocutionary acts into five types: assertives which provide information, directives which try to make the listener perform an action, commisives which commit the speaker to future action, expressives which express feelings, and declaratives which change the world through their utterance.
