问题 The word "girl" originally meant "young person of either sex" , but now the word signifies "young person of female sex " . This is an example (   ) .
选项 A、meaning shift
B、loss of meaning
C、widening of meaning
D、narrowing of meaning
答案D
解析 词义的缩小(narrowing或specialization)是词义变化方式的一种，是指词义从原先表达外延较宽的概念缩小到表达外延较窄的概念，即从泛指转为特指。girl最初指年轻人、年轻男性或女性，现在则只用于表示年轻女性，这显然是词义的缩小。
