Abstract
Power is a social phenomenon. It refers to the ability of its holders to compliance or obedience of other individuals to their will. This superiority is caused by different factors including social role, sex or even special style of speech. This study aims at presenting comprehensive definition of power, its role in terms of different speech styles of language and its signs. Therefore we can measure power in language more carefully, recognizing new signs.
