chronological divisions in the history of english. short survey of periods chronological divisions in the history of english. short survey of periods the historical development of a language is a continuous uninterrupted process without sudden breaks or rapid transformations. therefore any periodization imposed on language history by linguists, with precise dates, might appear artificial, if not arbitrary. yet in all language histories divisions into periods and cross-sections of a certain length, are used for teaching and research purposes. the commonly accepted, traditional periodization divides english history into three periods: old english (oe), middle english (me) and new english (ne). oe begins with the germanic settlement of britain (5th c.) and ends with the norman conquest (1066); me begins with the norman conquest and ends on the introduction of printing (1475), which is the start of the new english period (ne) which lasts to the present day. a famous english scholar …

printed book in english was published by william caxton in 1475. this period is a sort of transition between two literary epochs - the age of chaucer and the age of shakespeare (also known as the literary renaissance).caxton’s english of the printed books was a sort of bridge between the london literary english of the me period and the language of the literary renaissance. the london dialect had risen to prominence as a compromise between the various types of speech prevailing in the country and formed the basis of the growing national literary language. in this period the country became economically and politically unified; the changes in the political and social structure, the progress of culture, education, and literature led to linguistic unity. thus, the national english language was developed. early new english was a period of great changes at all levels, especially lexical and phonetic. the progress of culture …
