The study of evaluative language has had great relevance in the field of discourse analysis. Its use when reviewing a text, whether oral or written, has aroused a variety of interpretations of the reality that is to be transmitted. The present work has the objective of publicizing the attitude of the narrator and the characters of the Popol Vuh story through the study and exploration of their evaluative positions. The corpus of this research is made up of chapter one and two of the third part of the text. Through the process of reviewing the evaluative features, the intersubjective positions of the characters of the Mayan cosmogony, the power relations between gods and men were observed, in addition to the importance of the human being over creatures and meaning of the word as creative source
