A performative verb is a verb that performs an action simply by being uttered, effectively bringing about a change in the state of affairs. For example, in the statement "I apologize," the act of saying the words constitutes the act of apologizing. These verbs often signal a specific social or linguistic function, such as promising, commanding, or greeting. They are typically used in contexts where the speaker’s intention and the action are closely linked.
