Note :
The English language has been variously divided into periods by different writers .
In the division most commonly recognized ,
the first period dates from about 450 to 1150 .
This is the period of full inflection ,
and is called Anglo -
Saxon ,
or ,
by many recent writers ,
Old English .
The second period dates from about 1150 to 1550 (
or ,
if four periods be recognized ,
from about 1150 to 1350 ),
and is called Early English ,
Middle English ,
or more commonly (
as in the usage of this book ),
Old English .
During this period most of the inflections were dropped ,
and there was a great addition of French words to the language .
The third period extends from about 1350 to 1550 ,
and is Middle English .
During this period orthography became comparatively fixed .
The last period ,
from about 1550 ,
is called Modern English .
