Some parents correct the child some don't. In cases where the child doesn't learn them, they probably also have an entire series of other features in their speech as well that would tend to indicate a social dialect. The resulting adult, therefore, can either know these forms or not. If the resulting adult has speech in which a number of features co-occur, one can then specify a social dialect. As for the BrE/AmE thing, it's the same thing. | |
