Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to analyze expression styles of 253 conference papers published in the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 DLCC Conference in Cieszyn proceedings. It was hypothesized that the representatives of similar disciplines expressed themselves in a similar fashion, with the country of origin not being a differentiator. A statistical analysis of the vocabulary of the papers was conducted using the "Stylo" program. The visualizations showed similarities in the expression among 216 authors. The expression styles of the papers were qualitatively analysed. It was found that the DLCC participants have developed common terminology, which is one of the conditions for recognizing Distance Learning Studies as an academic discipline, similar to Media Studies or Knowledge and Communication Studies.
