Force (or Illocutionary Force)(in philosophy of language): The action a speaker performs when saying something—like asking a question, making a command, or stating a fact. The same words can have different forces depending on how you say them.
Semantic activation(as a cognitive phenomenon in language understanding): When your brain automatically retrieves the meaning of a word without you consciously thinking about it.
Token/Tokened(in philosophy of language): A specific instance or use of something. When a sentence is 'tokened,' it means someone actually uses or writes that sentence in a particular way at a particular time.
conditional(no-truth-value account of conditionals): A statement of the form 'if A, B' that involves the supposition that A and tells us nothing about what happens if A is false
