Reading on Infinitary languages I'm only seeing first order infinitary languages $\mathcal L_{\kappa, \lambda}$, i.e. in all of these languages no quantification over predicate and function symbols is allowed.

Are there second (or even higher) order infinitary languages? I mean something like $\mathcal L^2_{\kappa, \lambda}$ (more generally $\mathcal L^n_{\kappa, \lambda}$)rendering of the infinitary first order language $\mathcal L_{\kappa, \lambda}$. Or, is it the case that all of those are reducible to first order infinitary languages, and so dispense with all of them?

If there are, what are the recommended sources on those?

Are there second (or higher) order infinitary logic languages? References?
