The present study analyzes the treatise Andreas Capellanus on Love (Tratado do amor cortês), a work by André Capelão written in the 12th century, applying the methodology of the French Semiotics Theory. Taking as the corpus the eight dialogues from chapter VI of the first book of the treatise, which simulate amorous conversations between men and women of all walks of life, this thesis investigates the argumentative mechanisms of the discourse. Through different enunciative strategies and discoursive devices, the intentionality of a discourse that wills to make-believe is built, by means of the game of veridiction of being/appearing of the meaning, in the improbability of courtly love. In order to achieve that, figurative and semantic investments which historicize the discourse, making it more convincing, are necessary, as they frame such discourse in a given ideological formation which curbs the speeches in the discoursive universe of the 12th century, distinguished by the Christian moral. Thus, instead of being a manual of seduction that merely teaches how men and women should behave in courtly love, its overt goal, the treatise is seen as a doctrine that draws up the boundaries of the speeches and the social positions from the Christian ideology standpoint, leading the subjects to yearn for the conjunction with divine love.
