Abstract

Nowadays many celebrities from different circles join in Sina Weibo, the most popular self-media platform in China. Based on genre theories of Bhatia and Swales and considering the unique social context, the study has analyzed 3 pieces of apologies from Sina Weibo. This research is a new attempt to apply genre theory to apologies posted by celebrities on self-media platform. Besides, it helps celebrities deepen their understanding of apologies posted on self-media platform, impair images, decrease negative social impact, and more importantly shoulder social responsibilities. Meanwhile, fan groups and other netizens can further their knowledge of apologies posted by celebrities online and evaluate celebrities and their social influence in a more reasonable and objective manner.
