2. Vocabulary(the use of distinctive words,including slang,obscenity,and profanity)

3. Grammar(the use of standard vs. non-standard grammar)

A video clip on Netflix or Hulu will also be OK,just provide a citation for the specific scene you’ve analyzed。If the clip isnt accessible on-line,you may submit a DVD instead.
