Ovaj rad ima za cilj istražiti uticaj neslaganja subjekta i predikata u popularnoj muzici na jezički razvoj neizvornih učenika engleskog jezika. Korpus koji smo koristili u radu sačinjen je od 802 pjesme sa više od 200 miliona pregleda na Jutjubu i analiza je urađena uz pomoć deskriptivno-analitičke i statističke metode. Hipoteza istraživanja jeste da u popularnoj muzici često mogu da se uoče brojni primjeri slaganja subjekta i predikata koji odstupaju od pravila standardnog engleskog. Ukoliko se ne skrene pažnja na ovakve primjere u učionici na adekvatan način, mogli bi potencijalno da oštete lingvistički razvoj neizvornih govornika i učenika engleskog jezika. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je 396 pjesama lingvistički standardno (49.37%) a 406 nestandardno (50.62%). Pjesme sa neslaganjem subjekta i predikata (181 pjesma ukupno) su izuzeto popularne sa 37 pronađenih primjera koji su zabilježili više od milijardu pregleda na Jutjubu dok je većina zabilježila između 200 miliona i preko 5 milijardi pregleda. Pronađeno je ukupno 1506 nestandardnih elemenata u analiziranim pjesmama, 417 nestandardnih elemenata se odnosilo na neslaganje subjekta i predikata. Većina se nalazila u strofama kao i uvodnim i završnim dijelovima pjesama, a pronašli smo ukupno 142 pjesma sa neslaganjem u pomenutim dijelovima. U svega nekoliko pjesama, tačnije 38 ukupno, neslaganje subjekta i predikata je zabilježeno u refrenu. Rezultati se mogu smatrati značajnim za nastavu stranog jezika kao i za proučavanje uloge popularne muzike pri usvajanju stranog jezika. Istraživanje naglašava potencijalno nepovoljan uticaj nestandarnih lingvističkih primjera na neizvorne učenike engleskog jezika i upućuje na značaj adekvatnog pedagoškog nadgledanja pri upotrebi popularne muzike kao autentičnog i interaktivnog alata u nastavi jezika. Rad postavlja osnov za buduća istraživanja na ovu temu i doprinosi boljem razumijevanju moguće uloge koju popularna muzika može da ima pri formalnom usvajanju stranog jezika.
