The JEs all have the "X and Y" pattern, which I think is an appropriate nuance.

言動と行動って意味同じですか?
https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1247717962
言動と行動は意味が違います。
でも、言動には「行動」の意味が含まれています。
「言動」や「言行」は「口で言うことと実際に行うこと」と言う意味があります。

「言動」は「言葉と行動」を意味するため、「言動」の中に「行動」は含まれることになります。
  Comments:
Japanese has some neat words.  This seems to be a relatively bog-standard word for "behavior" (or "conduct") that explicitly includes speech. (vs., say, 行動).  Whether "speech" needs to be expressly included in a translation is situation-dependent, often it does not.

My encounter:
あの年の男子は女の言動に一喜一憂するからな
tr1. boys that age are easily effected by how girls treat them  (I considered "treatment" as a gloss, but that's not so well supported)
tr2. girls can make the emotions of boys that age swing wildly. (女の言動 is simplified into "girls" (their actions and words implied)) 

Since I'm here, "words and actions" seems more commonplace than "words and deeds". I've just gone ahead and left "words and deeds" in as well; you could drop it.  But I would object to "speech and deeds" or "speech and actions" as unidiomatic. I think it's better to repeat "words" than force in another synonym of "speech" into a clunky pairing.

I think it's better to offer "conduct" than "speech and conduct", and including both would certainly send a confusing message.
