(2014) J.l. Austin on language, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
In "Performative Utterances", at the end of his discussion of different kinds of "unhappiness' or "infelicity", Austin mentions utterances issued in the course of acting in a play or making a joke or writing a poem, "in which case, of course," he says, the utterance "would not be seriously meant and we shall not be able to say that we seriously performed the act concerned" (1979: 241).
