The problem whether have infix always cause controversy.The article by analysis some morpheme of the Mandarin,Chinese dialects and our Minority languages successively, which based on the analysis of dialect survey research data and previous studies, and get the conclusion that Chinese has the infix,but the number of infix is less than the prefix and suffix. By analysis,we trying to find some similarities,and provide foundation to the study of language typology. The article have six chapter.The preface part of this article introduce the infix research status, the criteria of infix,and explain the source of the article.Chapter Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ analysis the infix of the Mandarin, dialects and our Minority languages.We judge the presence of infix,and the infix of this three aspects always form the verbs,nouns,adjectives.In terms of function, infix can deep words meaning degree,change the meaning of the word,and change the word speech.Although few of this number,they have the consistency.Based on the first three chapters of this article,the chapterⅣ compare to the infix of Chinese and Minority languages,we discover that no matter in the quantity or function they have a lot of similarities,for example, the number of infix is the most little; the prefix or suffix and infix can appear in one morpheme environment.Therefore,we guess all languages which have the infix enjoy the common features.But this need study more languages to confirm.we hope this article will provide foundation to the study of language typology.In the end,we conclude the article,and enumerate some problems which should solve in the future.
