👉 The term "locutionary" is a term used in linguistics to describe the ability of human language to convey meaning. It refers to the ability of a speaker or writer to use words and phrases effectively to express ideas, emotions, or information that cannot be conveyed by mere speech alone. This ability is crucial for communication, as it allows speakers to articulate complex thoughts and ideas more clearly and effectively than they would if they were speaking in a non-linguistic way.
