摘要：In this article some grammar resources that Spanish shows in order to express one of the universal emotional principles are examined: the evaluators GOOD and BAD, through the examples found in a corpus of documentary texts from the Colombian area, written during the fi rst three centuries of the installation of the Spanish language in that region of South America. These texts have connection with the action of government and administration. However, in spite of the so claimed fossilized and formulaic nature of the speech these texts contain, it is necessary to state that they have an enormous load of “emotivity”. It is because a great deal was risked in each discovery and settlement process.
