Match the items in List - I with List - II and select the correct answer from the codes given below :
| List - I | List - II |
|---|---|
| (a) Communicative competence | (i) William Labov |
| (b) Verbal deficit hypothesis | (ii) Charles Fergueson |
| (c) Diglossia | (iii) Basil Benstein |
| (d) Social motivation of sound change | (iv) Dell Hymes |
Codes :
(a) (b) (c) (d)
Answer: A
The correct matches are: communicative competence with Dell Hymes (iv), the verbal deficit hypothesis with Basil Bernstein (iii), diglossia with Charles Ferguson (ii) and the social motivation of sound change with William Labov (i). The code is (iv), (iii), (ii), (i).
Hymes proposed communicative competence in answer to Chomsky's competence; Bernstein's restricted and elaborated codes gave the deficit idea; Ferguson wrote 'Diglossia' (1959); and Labov's New York and Martha's Vineyard studies showed social motives for change. The other codes mismatch at least two names.
