Firstly, while infixation isn't a typical property OF ENGLISH, it is a very robust morphophonological process in many many other languages, notably arabic where many root words consist of a 3 constant string and vowels are infixed. (Edit: I just thought of something else--infixation is a common process in ludlings/word games/pig latin as well) Stuff about morphology you probably don't care about: + Show Spoiler + Sidenote, really all that infixation means is that you have your root word and you have your "other stuff" which aren't quite words but sort of means things, aka morphemes, like the -s for plural for instance and in English. You gotta stick that shit somewhere and you have three options "beginning, middlesomewhere, and end". In English all inflectional morphemes (things like -s, -ing, they don't make a new word but they made it plural or progressive or something) go at the end. There are also derivational morphemes--parts of words that kinda sorta mean things but can't easily be added onto words--ie "pre" or "con", you sort of have the idea that pre means before and con means against but it would take you a while to realize that. Those mostly all go at the beginning. All infixes are are some languages like dumping shit in the middle of their words so instead of "bobcats", they'd do it like "bobscat". Some languages like doing things that way--I'm sure some of our readers who speak other languages than English are like that. Sign Languages: + Show Spoiler + Sign Languages don't necessarily have to obey this rule as you could simultaneous mark your morphological structure. They could also do it the other way, but they will often opt for a simultaneous strategy. Secondly I have no idea why you think that bloody is "unconfirmed" in British English. It happens. Also in British you sometimes get "blooming" inserted. In American English at least you can also infix other words that are less vulgur such as flippin (fan-flipping-tastic) or god damn "a-god damn-mazing". Also when you are thinking of doing this in your own language that's not English, try using native curse words and at least 3 syllable words. It doesn't work in English either if you use some words *Tex-fucking-as. I am quite aware of the facts surrounding morphology. I am a linguistics major, considering a specialty in morphology. And I'm pretty confident that you're wrong. To begin, infixes do not necessarily even have to have a meaning. In English there is another type of infixation as with the alternation of /tag/ - /tang/ where the engma is epenthesized for morphological reasons. The engma has no meaning associated, yet it is an infix. The reason I have reservations about British and American English 'infixation' is that there has been an idea posited that infixation of expletives and regular infixation are two separate processes (and indeed they must be in their motivations), as regular infixation results in a meaning change, whereas expletive infixation is merely serves an intensive function. Regarding the typological prevalence infixation, I was speaking relatively. Infixation is not as widely attested as other morphological processes (perhaps even circumfixation), and that is simply a fact. When parsing data, the first instinct upon seeing a base change that might suggest infixation should not be that the form is an infix because it is not as well attested. You seem to be mistaking productivity for typological prevalence. In Arabic, infixation is extremely productive. However, most languages do not even witness infixation. That was my point. | ||

Try Ala-fucking-bama in stead.

Does fucking insertion (pun completely intended imo) not happen at all? | ||
