Locutionary

It is the performance of an utterance, and hence of a speech act. The term equally refers to the surface meaning of an utterance because, a speech act should be analysed as a locutionary act, as well as an illocutionary act (the semantic 'illocutionary force' of the utterance, thus its real, intended meaning), and in certain cases a further perlocutionary act (i.e. its actual effect, whether intended or not).
