SUMMARY:

The main objective of this dissertation is to analyze the cognitive-discursive process involved in the construction of the meaning of HAPPINESS and to investigate the moral dimension that permeates the different uses of this concept in the book "The art of happiness" by Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler. We verified how the meaning of HAPPINESS emerges as the authors develop the themes in each part of the book, through the narratives produced on how to achieve happiness. To succeed in our study objective, we take as central theoretical contributions the concepts of conceptual metaphor (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 1980), frame (DUQUE, 2015, 2017) and online/offline frames (VEREZA, 2013a). These analytical categories are inserted in the theoretical-methodological set of Embodied Cognitive Linguistics, which is in line with the phenomenological perspective of Merleau-Ponty, which addresses our immediate and corporeal experience of the world. Focused on understanding how linguistic constructions shape value systems, the research is of a qualitative and interpretative nature. for the methodological procedures, we used the following tools to analyze the data: metaphor identification - bootstrapping (DUQUE, 2018), frame-based analysis methodology (DUQUE, 2015, 2017) and content analysis (BARDIN, 1977). In order to visualize the frames evoked by the lexical items of the textual surface we used text processing software to create cloud, similarity and Factor Correspondence Analysis (CFA) graphs. The analysis of the results allows us to understand more precisely that HAPPINESS is built based on the conceptual framework of GOAL, which encompasses the elements of ORIGIN-PATH-GOAL. In addition, the methodology used showed that the moral underlying the use of the concept of HAPPINESS in the speech is represented by the metaphor MORALITY IS STRENGTH.
