Perlocutionary act

A perlocutionary act in speech-act theory, is an action or condition of mind as a result of saying something. It is also called a perlocutionary effect [ThoughtCo].
A speech act that makes an effect, planned or not, reached in an addressee by a speaker’s expression is called a perlocutionary act.
There are several types of perlocutionary acts:
 Persuading—causing to do something by asking, arguing, or giving reasons.
 Convincing—making someone believe that a particular thing is true, correct, or genuine.
 Scaring—making someone frightened.
 Insulting—is giving or intention to give offence.
 Getting the addressee to do something [Glossary of Linguistic Terms].
The perlocutionary act is concerned with the effect given by the hearer after listening to the speaker’s expression. This effect could be provided by the hearer, either it is related to the speaker’s intention or not. There may be sometimes an implicit meaning in someone's utterance [Glenda, p. 3].
