SPEECH ACTS IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Finally, in order to complete this "unit", here's an audio file recorded by a fun guy who speaks about Speech Acts and how, knowing on what they're based, people mainly uses them to "lie".

Needless to say, this is a parody. Nevertheless, we get many nice examples of how Locutionary, Illocutionary and Perlocutionary acts are performed in real life.
