			===Examples===
			[[Tagalog]], a language spoken at the Philippines, has a number of infixes. From the monomorphemic root ''sulat'' 'writing' the derived verb ''sumulat'' 'to write' is formed by infixing -''um''- after the initial consonant. The existence of infixes is not uncontroversial. Broselow & McCarthy (1983) and McCarthy (1986) argue that infixation is just a special kind of [[prefix]]ation or [[suffix]]ation.
