A brief discussion about the basic semiotic terms suggests that Searle{\textquoteright}s philosophy offers an explanatory framework to key semiotic questions, namely the differentiation of non-signs and signs, the place of intentionality in semiotic description, and the nature of sign correlations. As a consequence, Searle{\textquoteright}s theory can be called communication-oriented semiotics, which in the light of classical concepts developed by Peirce and de Saussure can be seen as a non-trivial contribution to the semiotic research.}, keywords = {arbitrariness, de Saussure Ferdinand, intentionality, Peirce Charles S., representation, Searle John, semiotics, sign function}, url = {http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/prilohy/2012/2/148-160.pdf}, author = {Gvo{\v z}diak, V{\'\i}t} }
