Abstract: This paper aims at analyzing the grammatical and linguistic issues of Shakespearean English. The various techniques of this paper are driven from main fields of English language such as linguistics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis. Moreover, this paper sheds light on the self-presentation of Shakespearean English speakers in language and their own ways in communicating with others. Furthermore, the argument in this paper shows that the grammatical rules that control the linguistic usage of the Shakespearean language provide a lot of information about interaction and interpersonal relationships. Therefore, this paper also focuses on the great influence of Shakespearean English on modern English language through many Shakespearean idioms and new words that are used even in the present times as well as the notable influence of Shakespearean English on today's English pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
