The article is a detailed study of сonsonantal phonemes’ syntagmatics, registered at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the word throughout the historical development of the English language. The analysis of frequencies of consonantal clusters’ realization at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the word, registered in the three periods of the English language development, made it possible to establish qualitative characteristics of two-, three-, and four-consonantal clusters typical of the analyzed temporal intervals, describe their specificity of occurring within the word structure, and outline the dynamics of their changes during the historical development of English.
