According to the words of speaker, people can judge the information : their own social identity, cultural background, moral level, interpersonal skills. So the use of courtesy words will be subject to specific times, national culture, as well as the impact of social trends and constraints, but also follow certain rules and principles. courtesy words is an important subject in the field of pragmatics. The use of courtesy words is a complicated social phenomenon. People exchange ideas and communicate information by means of verbal communication. Both sides will choose the appropriate language according to the actual communication. The choice of language is more obvious and important in TV interview programs. Adaptation theory plays a very important role in the theory and practice in the specific television interview. Host and guest in the actual interview process, their choice of language should be given to the harmony and the need for clarity. In order to better express affection, participants will take the initiative to choose the language. Due to their own reasons, their understanding of language will be biased.In the talk show, the host and the guest often have divergences in communication as well as the discussion of the topic. When the divergences happen, both parties are aware that their own faces are potentially threatened, which is bad for the process of the talk shows. As a talk show host, you should implement courtesy speechactsin.order to.get theguest's understanding and minimize threat. At present, there have been some research findings on the usage of courtesy language at home and abroad. But from the perspective of adaptation theory, there is a slight deficiency in this issue.This paper regards the courtesy as the research object, using language adaptation theory and courtesy theory to analyze and judge the research object. I base this theory research on a specifictalk show---Kavastine, which is a culture talk show about elite groups. By collecting and analyzing the language materials, I try to explore courtesy principles as well as the explanation and function of the courtesy acts in the perspective of adaptation and function.First of all, discussion of defining an act of courtesy is made in this paper in order to make thelater discussion qualitative. Then, analyse the examples of courtesy principles in Kavastine, explain the courtesy acts and analyze the pragmatic functions from the perspective of adaptation theory. At the end of the paper, interview strategies of questioning are expounded.All in all, this article study the courtesy language roughtly in the order of defining the courtesy acts, the explanation of courtesy acts in specific program f and the function of courtesy language from the perspective of adaptation. As one of the three pragmatic theories, the theory of adaptation is very powerful in explaining courtesy behavior, Adaptation theory will push forward the research of courtesy behavior to a deeper and more reasonable level, according to the chat show host can access plan, according to the theory of adaptation to the perspective of the preparations for the festival. courtesy language plays an important role in daily life and even the smooth progress of interview programs. According to the adaptation theory, we can use courtesy language better.
