C、narrowing of meaning.
D、elevation of meaning.
答案

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。
