Abstract: A critical comment to Horwich's deflationary theory of meaning: the deflationary view ignores the fact that the way the subexpressions of an expression are combined is language dependent unlike meaning, which is in a sense 'international'; the link between the grammatical structure and the respective construction (=the meaning from the viewpoint of transparent intensional logic) is not as direct and simple as it would follow from Horwich's conception.
