选项
A、widening of meaning.
B、narrowing of meaning.
C、meaning shift.
D、loss of meaning.
答案
A
解析
单词“tail(尾巴)”开始意指“马的尾巴”,但是现在该词指“所有动物的尾巴”。这是词义的扩大。A为正确答案。Narrowing of Meaning:词义的缩小,比如,hound的原意为“狗(dog)”,词义缩小后,指一种特殊的狗,即“猎狗”。Meaning Shift:词义的迁移,比如,bead原义为“祷告(prayer)”,后变为“祷告用的念珠(prayer bead)”,最后变为“珠子(small,ball-shapedpiece of glass,metal,or wood)”。
