520 # $a In the present exposition, data are analyzed from the linguistic fieldwork conducted by the author with two Tigre speakers from the Rigbat people in the H&dotbelow;abab ethnic group. Included in this research, which took place in Eritrea during 2000--2001 and 2002--2003, was the elicitation and recording of several short stories.
520 # $a The Rigbat dialect is different from Tigre of Mensa` in a number of ways. With respect to phonology (chapters 2 and 3), there are several instances of the assimilation of t and n. Guttural consonants are weakened or lost in some environments, and a following a is frequently realized as [a]. Geminates are often simplified. A vowel is frequently lost in an unstressed open syllable, and epenthesis of &lang;schwa&rang; occurs between a plosive and r.
520 # $a This work is a comprehensive grammatical overview of the H&dotbelow;abab-Rigbat dialect of Tigre: its phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexicography. It includes the first translated Tigre texts (from any dialect) that have been published in phonetic transcription.
520 # $a Tigre is spoken by between 10 and 20 percent of the approximately 3.8 million inhabitants of Eritrea (East Africa). While there are a dozen Tigre-speaking groups, only one dialect, that of the Mensa' ethnic group, has been recorded grammatically, lexically, and textually. The remaining dialects of Tigre are relatively undocumented. The need for documentation is especially great in phonetics and phonology.
520 # $a With respect to morphology (chapters 4, 5, and 6), there is limited use of a gender-specific 1SG possessive suffix, e.g. `&lang;schwa&rang;n-ye 'my-MS eye' vs. `&lang;schwa&rang;n-ce 'my-CS eye', and neither diminutive nouns nor the D stem verb k&dotbelow;atatala is attested. In the future tense construction '&lang;schwa&rang;g&lang;schwa&rang;l + JUSS + COP, the copula is conjugated for gender and number in third person forms, while 3MS tu occurs for first and second person. The C stem k&dotbelow;atala appears to be lexical, and there exist B passive, C passive, and Q passive verb stems alongside the t&lang;schwa&rang;-A/B, t&lang;schwa&rang;-C, and t&lang;schwa&rang;-Q stems. ya-halla-nni 'there-M is not' occurs more frequently than 'i-halla, and the negative of the verb y&lang;schwa&rang;-...-n(ni) occurs alongside 'i-+VERB.
520 # $a With respect to syntax (chapters 7 and 8), noun phrases are generally NOUN + ADJ. The lexicon (chapter 9) is marked by a preponderance of Arabic loans and by a number of Tigrinya, English, Italian, and Amharic Loans. Some new forms, such as t&dotbelow;ab`an 'now, so, so then (CONJ)' and kam 'like, as (PREP); after, that (CONJ)', and some biforms, such as 'ab/'&lang;schwa&rang;b 'in, with, by, through' and kamsal/k&lang;schwa&rang;msal 'like, as', have arisen.
