摘　　要：主要考察"娃"词义演变的轨迹:"娃"最早为方言词语,本义为美丽,且特指女子貌美。唐以前用例较少,唐代至元代数量增多,但仅出现于诗词、戏曲当中,应用的范围较窄。唐代,"娃"开始了低龄化的倾向,和"小孩"产生了一定联系,虽然开始仅表女性,但是到了元代,"娃"在北方口语当中可表示"小孩",且不论性别。明清之后,表女子的"娃"逐渐消失,而表小孩的"娃"逐渐由北方方言扩展开来,渗透到多个方言区,且词义也有了进一步的引申。This paper mainly observes the evolution of Wa（ ＂娃＂ ） ,which is a dialect word in earliest times.
