<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>An '''infix''', which is rare in English, is a type of [[affix]]: that is, a word-fragment which only makes sense when it is added to the middle of another word. (More technically, it is a [[bound morpheme]].) More commonly, in spoken English at any rate, is the phenomenon of [[tmesis]], which is the insertion of a whole word between the beginning and the end of another word or phrase. Do not be tempted to use tmesis in academic writing.<br /> [[category:affixes]]</div>
