The second question, more basic than the first, concerns the nature of the criteria required. Searle’s criteria apply to illocutionary acts, not necessarily to illocutionary verbs: not everything which is relevant to illocutionary acts is also part of the meaning of illocutionary verbs. Some of Searle’s classification criteria are irrelevant to the meaning of illocutionary verbs. This is true, for example, of the direction of fit between words and the world and the phenomenon of performativity.
On Austin’s account, we have simply not developed performative formula containing these verbs, because society does not approve of the acts in question. Austin and Searle both attribute the possibility or impossibility of using a given illocutionary verb performatively to social factors. Such an account of performativity is more powerful than one along the lines of Verschueren, because it provides an explanation for many more cases. Verschueren’s model only offers an explanation for some exceptional cases.
All other criteria serve to make subclassifications within each of the five main classes of illocutionary acts. Criticism of Searle’s taxonomy has centred mainly around the notion of illocutionary point, which, according to several authors, has never been clearly defined (cf. Ballmer & Brennenstuhl 1981: 58; Vanparys 1996: 31). This is not surprising given the fact that the notion of illocutionary point is derived from the essential condition for the felicitous performance of a particular speech act.
