Summary/Abstract: The paper is a summary of the Searleian critique of Herbert Paul Grice’s theory of meaning. At the beginning of the paper I present Grice’s theory of meaning, which he elaborated in his famous article Meaning. After this I will review John R. Searle’s critique of the Griceian theory. As a result of this we will get an insight into Searle’s own thoughts about meaning.
