It is hard to reach final conclusions on complex systems.

Do children copy your dialect (assuming that you speak different then other
people in your area) or the other kids dialect?
Both. Copying behaviour is the first way of learning. Even if none of the kids curse - if you curse like a sailor, the kid will do the same.

When older, origins of behaviour are even harder to point. As your actions are determined by fenotype and genotype, it'd simply follow that even advertisments have influence on your dialect.
