Primes¶

- Performativity
- Philosophy of language: Austin's performatives — "I now pronounce you married," "I name this ship," "I bequeath," "I bet" — accomplish the act rather than report it; Searle's later taxonomy of declarations (utterances that change the world by representing it as changed) generalizes the category.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
