This study is made to survey the interaction between the reception psychology and rhetoric expression (to be more accurate, it should be rhetoric sending). Conclusions are drawn from the first-hand materials from questionnaires of from experienced language users such as writers and poets, to average language users of college students from different districts of the whole state.Investigations reveal that a function exists between the reception psychology and the rhetoric sending, to be more accurate, the former, to some extent, constrains the latter.Rhetoric is human-oriented, and it is a dialogue via the medium of language and for the purpose of efficient discourse, which is revised as a specific-receiver-orientated dialogue. Its meaning is based on the psychological reality. The rhetoric sending and rhetoric reception co-exist in such discourse. Constraints are the function of senders' and receivers' psychology. There are differences between the reception psychology and the receivers' psychology. Reception psychology is complicated and can be cognized and it is the acceptability and cognizance of the language sent by the speaker. It plays a key role in the formation of the discourse.To the broader view, constraints of the reception psychology on the rhetoric sending are a complex and hierarchical system. The factors of the system act upon the basic rules such as harmony, order, efficiency, civil and no extreme.To a narrower view, constraints of reception psychology on rhetoric sending are a process of chess playing. The general procedure of the constraints is as follows. Recognize the existence of the reception psychology; make inferences from the rhetoric sending; generates adjusted discourses. The inferences are displayed by the slip of tongues and adjusted by appendix, detraction, displacement and substitution.The constraints of reception psychology on rhetoric sending lead to the default forms of rhetoric expressions. The default forms includes adjustment of prosody and sentence orders, and apology or console as well.
