pelokutionär Akt
German to English

Linguistics
The field is linguistics, and my client says it is "pelocutionary act" in English, but I can't find it listed anywhere in either English or German. She says it is an act done in response to a statement, such as turning up the thermostat when someone says "It's cold." Can anyone confirm the use of this term in English?
