The concept word and paradigm is introduced by

  • A.H.A. Gleason
  • B.Charles F. Hockett
  • C.David Abercrombie
  • D.Kennett Pike

Answer: B

The word-and-paradigm model of morphology was introduced by Charles F. Hockett in his 1954 paper 'Two models of grammatical description', where he contrasted item-and-arrangement and item-and-process with word-and-paradigm, which takes the word and its inflectional paradigm as basic.

H.A. Gleason wrote a well-known introduction to descriptive linguistics. David Abercrombie worked in phonetics, and Kenneth Pike developed tagmemics. None of them is credited with the word-and-paradigm model, so option B is right.
