The Second Life of Tourism – About the Meaning of Pol. "Koronaturystyka" and Bul. "Ковидтуризъм" in the Light of Survey Data

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to formulate a cognitive definition of the meaning of the concept of the Polish compositum koronaturystyka and the Bulgarian word ковидтуризъм. The research results are based on survey data collected from 50 Polish and 50 Bulgarian students in accordance with the main methodological assumptions of the Lublin cognitive ethnolinguistics school. The basic stabilizing features of the koronaturystyka/ковидтуризъм concept are the same for both languages. Polish and Bulgarian respondents attribute the physical feature of temporality to koronaturystyka/ковидтуризъм, defining it as tourist activity taking place during a pandemic. The conservatism and risk traits are also dominant in the picture of koronaturystyka/ковидтуризъм in both languages: tourism that takes pandemic restrictions into account vs. tourism despite these restrictions. The extent to which the concept is stereotyped is very high for both languages: 67.3% in Polish; 57.69% in Bulgarian.
