Are you asking about the relationship between grammar
usage and socio-economic class of the speaker? Are you analyzing the use of non-standard
English? Are you looking for some other type of analysis that I can't infer correctly
from your extremely limited question?
If you are analyzing
grammar as related to economic or educational influences upon the speaker, you could
support the proposition that training in the rules of usage for grammatically-correct
standard English is related to the amount and type of education
received.
If you are arguing that usage in dialects such as
African American Vernacular English is "incorrect" grammar, I think you are missing the
point. AAVE, in a grammatical sense, is a separate language from standard English, with
its own set of guidelines structuring how words are properly used to communicate. AAVE
is different than standard English - it has nothing to do with "correct" or
"incorrect."
