Summary: 
In this paper, we introduce a syntactically embedded (s-embedded) language, and consider its principal congruence. The following three results are proved, where PL is the principal congruence of a language L, and W(L) is the residual of L. (1) For a language K, s-embedded in M, K is equal to a PM class. (2) For a language K, s-embedded in an infix language M, K is equal to a PW(M) class. (3) For a nonempty s-embedded language L, if L is double-unitary, then L is equal to a PW(M) class. From the above results, we can obtain those for principal congruence of some codes. For example, Ln is equal to a PLn+1 class for an inter code L of index n.
