Summary/Abstract: Since the late 90s of the 20th century, e-learning and its variants: blended learning, mobile learning; have become rapidly developing forms of education in Poland. Although acknowledging its legal status as an element of higher education lasted almost ten years, the lengthy process did not slow down the development of e-learning. The growing number of participants of e-classes, and graduates of distance studies proves the increase of trust put in this form of education. The aim of the research is to analyse didactic issues and linguistic phenomena occurring in e-academic education, the presence of which results from the nature of communication typical of educational discourse, but also from network communication. A theoretical introduction is followed by the analytical part of the research (chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). In the analysis of didactic phenomena (chapter 2), particular emphasis is put on creating the concept of a methodical e-classroom project that can be implemented in five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The supplementary element of this description is the case study (chapter 3) based on the e-course (e-lecture on the subject of the Polish language culture taught by the author at the department of the Polish philology at the University of Lodz in the academic year 2016/2017). The subsequent chapters (4, 5 and 6) focus on the analysis of linguistic phenomena occurring during various online classes conducted at three Lodz universities: the University of Lodz, Prof. J. Chechliński Higher University of Finance and Information Technology in Łódź, and the Polish Virtual University. The considerations of communication as it is performed during e-classes fall within the broad scope of language pragmatics, because they concern intentional communication activities and semantic structures that organize a language message.
