A study by Jati Widya Iswara (2019) on the adjacency patterns in spoken interaction of a discussion, suggested that a person with power will tend to interrupt in a conversation. Power is related to anything that give that particular person an upper feeling over else. It can be money, status, job, etc. Another study by Hung and Deng (2017) entitled “Language and Power” suggested that language power may occur at both the micro and macro levels. In the micro level, the power can be gained from the speakers’ ownership over weapon, money, high social status, etc. While at the macro level, someone’s power can be gained when there is a support from the communities of the language. This power will empower the speaker to be able to cut someone else’s sentences or to force other to listen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Penelitian oleh Iswara (2019) serta Hung dan Deng (2017) bertujuan mengamati bagaimana faktor status, kekayaan, maupun dukungan komunitas memengaruhi perilaku bicara. Melalui pengamatan ditemukan bahwa individu yang memiliki keunggulan atau kekuasaan cenderung lebih mendominasi percakapan. Kekuasaan tersebut memberikan mereka kendali untuk memotong kalimat orang lain secara sengaja atau memaksa lawan bicara agar terus mendengarkan. Fenomena ini membuktikan bahwa bahasa bukan sekadar alat bertukar informasi, melainkan cerminan posisi sosial seseorang dalam sebuah kelompok.
