The research of the principle of pragmatics is still under developing stage and it is long way to accomplish the intact theory system. As far as I am concerned the research of the principle should be based on the study of the aim and the function of the language referring to the related theories of psychology, sociology, and etc. by means of analyzing the behaviors behind of the material examples we can explore the rules of the pragmatics to the principle.The behavior of pragmatics is the process to get the most utility by means of maximizing the aiming object's utility with the effective control. Maximization of the utility, effect of the acceptance and efficiency of control is the three basic principles of pragmatics. Two rules are derived from the principle of the maximization of the effect of the acceptance: one is to get the most efficiency; the other is for the best extent of acceptance.The optimization of the code selection, improvement of the efficiency of the code and optimization of the method of coding is necessary to get the most efficiency of the acceptance. Ways fitting the cognitive way of human being such as metaphor and representative can be used As to the code selection. As to the efficiency of the code by the law of Martelay the code information can be compressed. As to the method rhythm, fixed structure, focus expressed and strengthened information can be useful.To get the best extent of the acceptance it is necessary to use the strategies of respect, identify, generosity, obedience and stimulation regarding the object as the center. In addition the different mental requirement needs different strategy for distinct people and situations.Because of the limited ability of pragmatics, understanding of the demand of the object the actual pragmatics behavior can not get the aim of maximization of the utility while only trying to get it. The actual pragmatics behavior is a process of plan, implement, feedback, adjust, implement again, improvement. Such control process is not only shown in single pragmatics behavior but also gets through the...
