The evolution of phrasal verbs and their history

Conclusion
To sum up, the periodisation of languages into ‘old’, ‘middle’ and ‘new’ periods, or even more subtle distinctions, is a tricky issue (cf. Lass 2000). For English the older threefold division has now been largely replaced by a fourfold division into Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English, Late Modern English. Usage as to the extent of these periods may differ considerably. This is particularly true with respect to the distinction between Early Modern English and Late Modern English (the most recently introduced term), which has been drawn in the literature variously between the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 19th century. Likewise, there is no consensus when ‘present-day English’ begins and whether or not it is part of Late Modern English (cf. e.g. Görlach 1994: 8 and Beal 2004: xi– xiv).
