New page

An '''infix''' is an [[affix]] which occurs inside its [[base]].

===Comment===
Sometimes the term ''infix'' is also used for [[adfix]]es that occur nonperipherally in a word, but not inside another morpheme. However, this usage of ''infix'' is usually regarded as erroneous.
:::"Now, shouldn’t we analyze ''-al'' in ''decolonialization'' also as an infix (after all, it occurs inside a word)? The answer is ‘no.’ True, ''-al'' occurs inside a complex word, but crucially it does not occur inside another morpheme." (Plag 2003:11)

===Origin===
The term ''infix'' is first attested in the last quarter of the 19th century.

−	Arabic infixes are vocalic patterns within so-called [[discontinuous morpheme]]s, traditionally called [[root]]s. For example, the triconsonantal root ''{k..t..b}'' is the discontinuous morpheme, which carries the meaning of 'writing', into which a vocalic pattern such as {..a..a} can be '''infix'''ed to give you /katab/ (a [[pausal form]]), meaning 'wrote'. In fact, the morphemic analysis of past verb forms in Arabic is more complex than it might overtly seem were we to add [[gender]] as yet a third morpheme.	+	Arabic infixes, sometimes also called ''transfixes'' are vocalic patterns within so-called [[discontinuous morpheme]]s, traditionally called [[root]]s.

For example, the triconsonantal root {k..t..b} is the discontinuous morpheme, which carries the meaning of 'writing', into which a vocalic pattern such as {..a..a} can be infixed to give you /katab/ (a pausal form), meaning 'wrote'.
