The article analyzes the linguistic peculiarities of the spatial representation of the concept of power in such types of institutional discourse as economic and legal. The interrelation of space of power which is thought as a category and the various discursive practices correlated with different spheres of communication is considered. Specification of representing the category of power is demonstrated through semantic analysis of dynamic prepositional group. Within the research, new constitutive components of the given discourses, text-forming units and components of the text are revealed, new interpretations of elements of the discursive structure and semantics are given. The examined group of dynamic prepositions undergoes derivational transformations presented in a generalized model of semantic modifications.
