This evolution consists of three periods in the history of Polish language: old Polish (10th–15th century), middle Polish (16th–18th) and new Polish (19th–21th) century. In the old Polish period the Polish ethnic language is in its development stage; in the middle Polish period it becomes a national language; in the new Polish period it gains a full spectrum of sociolinguistic functions. In this whole evolution process the range of communicative-stylistic variants of the Polish language extends itself and is an object constant stratification.
