The goal of this paper is to give an insight into the widely studied grammar of one of the greatest dramatists of all time, William Shakespeare. To exemplify the grammatical differences between the language of his time, which is Early Modern English, and Contemporary English, Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet was chosen. The paper begins with an introduction to the EModE period, followed by an overview of Shakespeare and his life, works, and language. The second part of the paper presents my research of the morphological and syntactic structures used in Romeo and Juliet. The analyzed structures are the following: the inflectional suffixes of verbs, nouns, and adjectives, as well as the structures of noun phrase and verb phrase, ending with the EModE word order. All the constructions noted were compared to the standard language used today, and in general, there is a significant number of examples of Shakespeare’s inconsistency both in morphology and syntax, still, the part that shows the greatest variation, when compared to the present-day standard, is word order.
