One way is to run the script from inside you c using scripting bridge.

Another way is to create a text string and then "system" it (note, I probably have the quotes a bit wrong here).
system("osascript -e \'tell app \"Address Book\" to get the name of every person\' | perl -pe \'s/, /\n/g\' | sort | uniq -d");

A third way is use NSTASK. You could check eg this page for a start on NSTASK.

Assuming you are running at least Snow Leopard, a fourth way would be to add an AppleScriptObjC class to your project and call the desired handlers/methods from the Objective-C code.
