The paper deals with the Slovak names referring to the Olympic Games that appear to be, in a sense, borderline cases between proper names and generic terms. The study focuses on semantic and spelling aspects of these names, but also on legal restrictions imposed on the use of the term “olympiáda” (Olympics/Olympiad), so the analysis goes beyond the traditional semantics and partly falls within the field of applied linguistics focusing on language and law. The paper shows that despite the latest proposal the Slovak spelling system cannot be consistently based on the principle of “completeness” of the name. Secondly, it is argued that spelling variants “olympiáda/ Olympiáda and olympijské hry/Olympijské hry” should be accepted in written Slovak. Finally, the study clarifies the special status of the word “olympiáda” as quasi-trademark, resulting from the legislative protection of the Olympic symbolism.

The article deals primarily with the Wittgensteinian contributions to metaphilosophy as rendered in the book Metaphilosophical investigations (T. Čana – D. Kamhal – R. Maco 2015). It focuses on the language and methods of the metaphilosophical elucidations and, in some cases, puts these elucidations under criticism for an incorrect usage of the key concepts. Critical remarks are also made with regard to the methodological maxims that require simplicity and transparency of philosophizing. In addition, the article offers some alternative solutions to the problems at issue. These solutions are above all metalinguistic recommendations and intended as contributions to therapeutic philosophy.
