A legal term "alibi" signifying "plea that the accused is not at the place when the crime is committed" now means "excuse". This change of word-meaning is called______. ( )
选项
A、transfer
B、narrowing
C、extension
D、degradation
答案
C
解析
Extension of meaning is also found in many technical terms,which as the term suggests are confined to specialized use.For instance,alibi,a legal term signifying‘plea that the accused is not at the place when the crime is committed’,has now come into common use,meaning‘excuse’.许多意义有专指的技术术语中也有词义扩大的现象。比如说,alibi原义为“不在犯罪现场的抗辩”,现义为“辩解,托辞”。
