Abstract
In order to avoid being thoroughly ad hoc, any classification has to be principled — which holds with classifying (types of) illocutionary acts in particular. Since a theory of illocutionary acts is best seen to be a special branch of action theory in general, it seems to be clear from where the relevant principles of classification have to come from: (i) It is a general theory of action, in terms of which (basic types of) illocutionary acts are to be explicated; and, in order to be reliable, (ii) the needed principles of classification have to be derived from (the logical connections existing between) these action-theoretical explications themselves.
