Abstract
Historical texts before the constitutional revolution have a special political language due to their nature. This special political language, which originates from political power, may have a stronger or weaker presence in some books and periods, depending on the time and place. Tarikh Balami written by Balami in the 4th century has this special language. In this research, the influence of power, both political and spiritual, has been investigated and analyzed in Balaami history. The text comes in various forms in the face of power and compliance with its requirements.On the one hand, the author of Tarikh Balami is the initiator of history writing in the Persian language, and on the other hand, he translated and composed a history related to past times. Therefore, it adheres less to the language rituals and customs - as it is later found in texts such as Tarikh Beyhaqi and Tarikh Jahangosha.The research method is descriptive and analytical. In the analysis of the language of power, the terms semantics and pragmatics were used. Balami has been able to achieve these requirements by using methods such as mentioning titles and adjectives, combining power words, choosing words, using literary techniques such as allegory, contrast, exaggeration, etc., praise tone, taking turns in speaking, etc. to reflect power in his language.,he does this with an artistic language and the use of some syntactic structures. Often, these cases have a general aspect in the language custom, and later historians also follow him in expressing the language of power,.
