Language has been continuously evolving and changing over the whole history of its existence which might as an integrated whole. For this purpose, linguists divide the history of language into sections or periods, each of which has its own grammar structure, phonetics and other qualitative characteristics describing a certain period of language development. Nowadays the history of the English language is traditionally divided into three periods each of which is closely related to peoples' history. This language separation is relative, but such classification is convenient for combining large volumes of English - language materials in order to study its history.
