The Language of Apologies in Responses to Customer Reviews

We use natural language processing to examine the linguistic features of apologies in manager responses to online customer reviews. We ask what features are essential for a response to be perceived as an apology by third-party observers. Further, we examine the relationship between apologies and customer satisfaction with the response.
