One of the main characteristics he has emphasized is the adaptability and flexibility of the English language, which has allowed it to absorb and integrate words from other languages, as well as evolve over time to meet the needs of its speakers. Bragg has also highlighted the influence of the British Empire and later the United States in promoting the spread and acceptance of English as a global language.
