Speech acts: Constative and performative - Colleen Glenney | TED-Ed
When are words just words, and when do words force action? Linguist J.L.

For instance, is a “No running” sign describing your gait, or are you not running because the sign prohibits it? Colleen Glenney Boggs describes how these categorizations give power to words and, ultimately, to your actions.
