This study handles a transcribed interview that analyzes the language of power. The paper evaluates the features of power differences between the guest and the host of a comedy show. It analyzes some differences between them in terms of length, vocabulary, syntax, grammar and conversation features. Goffman’s system components, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) features, and speech acts features in association with language of power are examined. First, the paper begins with the procedures in which who are the subjects and what are the methods of data collection. Second, it provides data analysis to clarify the main idea. The findings of the analysis are stated. Finally, the discussion of the implications of these findings for ESL/EFL learners is written.
