Mike is noticing differences in dialect, specifically the way Mary Ann pronounces certain words. Syntax refers to the structure of sentences, morphemes refers to the smallest units of meaning in language, and phonesthemes refer to sound-meaning correspondences in language. These concepts are not directly related to Mike's observation about Mary Ann's accent.
