Since this paper is intended for a festschrift celebrating Searle{\textquoteright}s respectable anniversary, I will mostly refrain from critical remarks and rather focus on the positive aspects of his account. I am going to show that Searle{\textquoteright}s theory of metaphor is for the most part immune to Davidson{\textquoteright}s arguments.}, keywords = {metaphor; Searle; Davidson; literal meaning; metaphorical meaning}, url = {http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/prilohy/2012/2/186-197.pdf}, author = {M{\'a}cha, Jakub} }
