From Wikipedia
Performative verbs are verbs carried out simply by means of uttering them aloud. When a judge sentences someone to jail time, for example, the action is completed when they say, "I hereby sentence you to five years in prison", or the like. Compare this with the sentence "I run every day", in which the verb run merely represents the action of moving quickly.
