A、degradation of meaning.

C、narrowing of meaning.
D、elevation of meaning.
答案
B
解析
考查语言学。 Broadening of meaning means extension of the word range of its use.例如pen,又如holiday,原指宗教节日,现在泛指节日。On the opposite,in the process of narrowing of meaning,the meaning of a word become narrowed,or restricted,orspecialized.例如,wife原指妇女,无论结婚与否,现在仅指已婚妇女。Degradation of meaning means a word degrades its meaning from good or important connotation to humble or badconnotation.例如,silly在古英语中意思是快乐,但现在意为愚蠢。When words with humble meanings come to get good or important sense,they are elevated in meaning.例如,nice原来意思是蠢笨的,现在意思是好的,漂亮的。
