Shakespeare is called the greatest author in the English language not only because his works are in English, but also for his profound and lasting impact on the language itself. Of the Twenty Five Thousand words in the canon, roughly Thousand Five Hundred, were coined by Shakespeare himself. Shakespeare's writings greatly influenced the entire English language. Prior to and during Shakespeare's time, the grammar and rules of English were not standardized. But once Shakespeare's plays became popular in the late seventeenth and eighteenth century, they helped contribute to the standardization of the English language, with many Shakespearean words and phrases becoming embedded in the English language. Among Shakespeare's greatest contributions to the English language must be the introduction of new vocabulary and phrases which have enriched the language making it more colorful and expressive. Many of Shakespeare's original phrases are still used in conversation and language today. These include, but are not limited to; "seen better days, strange bedfellows, a sorry sight,"and "full circle". Shakespeare's effect on vocabulary is rather astounding when considering how much language has changed since his lifetime
Yes, they do. Some people consider them timeless since time hasn't affected their appeal. And a lot of people consider their appeal as universal, that is, people from all races and cultures find their themes appealing to them since they deal with human nature, not with a particular race or culture. But, of course, there is criticism too, and there are occasions when critics find them slightly anti-Semitic (Shylock the Jew!), anti-feminist (advocating suppression of women) and even colonialist.
