Certainly he added new words to the vocabulary. As he became accepted as the greatest writer in the English language, his works were taught in schools and his phrases and the stories of some of his plays became so well known that people allude to them all the time, in works of literature as well as in daily speech.

As for a more direct effect, Shakespeare's plays encouraged playwrights of his time to focus on plausible characterization in their plays, and to give their characters coherent motivations. This particular aspect of playwriting got lost gradually until by the nineteenth century the art of drama in England had declined to the point where some literary people denied that Shakespeare could be a good author if he was writing plays. The realist movement of Ibsen etc. caused people to rediscover these aspects of Shakespeare. More recently, reactions to the realist movement have resulted in people rediscovering the folktale and legendary aspects of Shakespeare.

Generally, as with all great art, different generations are able to find their own perspectives in the artworks.
