Searle's Indirect Speech Act Theory
Searle continues his teacher's research on illocutionary acts, and finds that actually all the speech acts can be seen as illocutionary acts. He makes some revisions to Austin's felicity conditions and use new terms to classify felicity conditions into three: preparatory conditions, propositional content conditions and sincerity conditions.
The second speech act, i.e. illocutionary act, is the focus of Austin's research, because the illocution of an utterance is the speaker's communicative intention or the function it is intended to perform. In this sense, Austin's speech act theory is actually a theory of illocutionary acts. His previous research focus performatives then in fact belongs to a special group of illocutionary acts which are expressed explicitly.

This means that his theory pays much attention to the functions rather than the forms of languages.
"I nominate John to be President", “I sentence you to ten years’imprisionment",
"I promise to pay you back."

Later, when Austin tries to separate performatives from constatives, he realizes the difficulty in distinguishing them from apart. In fact, all sentences can be used to perform speech acts. In order to explain in what sense to say something is to do something, Austin classifies three kinds of speech acts: 1)locutionary act(言内行为) – the movement of vocal organs to produce a stretch of meaningful sounds,

Austin's Speech Act Theory
It all begins with Austin's) distinction between two kinds of sentences: performatives(施为句) and constatives(叙事句). Austin argues that the uttering of a performative sentence is actually doing an action.
