Cognitive processes underlying the meaning of five adjective signs from Brazilian Sign Language that express emotion are analyzed in a cognitive approach. In order to accomplish this objective, we started from the theories of metaphor and conceptual metonymy, from the concepts of embodiment and cognitive iconicity. Conceptual structures, such as image schema, frames and mental spaces, are also part of the theoretical framework of this work. Such signs were collected from the Brazilian Sign Language Digital Dictionary of the National Institute of Education for the Deaf, thus characterizing a lexical approach. It is part of a broader research study of eighty signs. After the investigation, the metonymic projections NON-MANUAL EXPRESSION BY EMOTION, INTENSITY/DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT BY EMOTION, CONTAINMENT BY EMOTION and CONTACT BY EMOTION were postulated for meaning construction, the adjectives for emotion in Libras, considering the relationship between the production parameters of signs and their senses.
