Autonomous literacy is associated with the name of

  • A.John Gumperz
  • B.Joshwa Fishman
  • C.Prian Street
  • D.R.B. Lapage

Answer: C

'Autonomous literacy' (the autonomous model of literacy) is a term associated with Brian Street, who contrasted it with the ideological model in Literacy in Theory and Practice (1984). The autonomous model treats literacy as a neutral technical skill independent of social context, and he argued that literacy is always social.

John Gumperz is associated with interactional sociolinguistics, Joshua Fishman with sociology of language and language planning, and R.B. Le Page with creole studies and acts of identity. None of these coined the contrast named in the question.
