Abstract
This thesis deals with how William Shakespeare coined his words and idioms, the size of his vocabulary and some basic facts about Early Modern English, British English and American English. It also presents an analysis of several phrases and idioms from six plays penned by Shakespeare. Those idioms are split into groups according to whether or not they contain archaic vocabulary or collocates. The British National Corpus and the Corpus of Contemporary American English are used so as to determine the frequency of those idioms in the two varieties of English and to ascertain to what extent they have been incorporated into each variety. All in all, the ultimate goal of this analysis is to determine to what extent these idioms are present in Present-Day English as well as whether they appear more frequently in American or British English.
