Abstract:
This article studies convolutional neural networks for Tigrinya (also referred to as Tigrigna), which is a family of Semitic languages spoken in Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. Tigrinya is a “low-resource” language and is notable in terms of the absence of comprehensive and free data. Furthermore, it is characterized as one of the most semantically and syntactically complex languages in the world, similar to other Semitic languages. To the best of our knowledge, no previous research has been conducted on the state-of-the-art embedding technique that is shown here. We investigate which word representation methods perform better in terms of learning for single-label text classification problems, which are common when dealing with morphologically rich and complex languages. Manually annotated datasets are used here, where one contains 30,000 Tigrinya news texts from various sources with six categories of “sport”, “agriculture”, “politics”, “religion”, “education”, and “health” and one unannotated corpus that contains more than six million words. In this paper, we explore pretrained word embedding architectures using various convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to predict class labels. We construct a CNN with a continuous bag-of-words (CBOW) method, a CNN with a skip-gram method, and CNNs with and without word2vec and FastText to evaluate Tigrinya news articles. We also compare the CNN results with traditional machine learning models and evaluate the results in terms of the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scoring techniques. The CBOW CNN with word2vec achieves the best accuracy with 93.41%, significantly improving the accuracy for Tigrinya news classification.

Abstract:
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have proven to be especially successful in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging—which is the process of mapping words to their corresponding POS labels depending on the context. Despite recent development of language technologies, low-resourced languages (such as an East African Tigrinya language), have received too little attention. We investigate the effectiveness of Deep Learning (DL) solutions for the low-resourced Tigrinya language of the Northern-Ethiopic branch. We have selected Tigrinya as the testbed example and have tested state-of-the-art DL approaches seeking to build the most accurate POS tagger. We have evaluated DNN classifiers (Feed Forward Neural Network – FFNN, Long Short-Term Memory method – LSTM, Bidirectional LSTM, and Convolutional Neural Network – CNN) on a top of neural word2vec word embeddings with a small training corpus known as Nagaoka Tigrinya Corpus. To determine the best DNN classifier type, its architecture and hyper-parameter set both manual and automatic hyper-parameter tuning has been performed. BiLSTM method was proved to be the most suitable for our solving task: it achieved the highest accuracy equal to 92% that is 65% above the random baseline.

Abstract:
Abstract Head-final languages are not expected to display verbal prefixes. However, in Tigrinya—a consistent SOV Ethio-Semitic language—the “relative marker” is a prefix that precedes the subordinate verb. Taking an antisymmetric and LCA approach to head-finality, I challenge the idea that what have been traditionally called prefixes in head-final languages have an intrinsic “prefixal morphological property”. Instead, I argue that prefixes are elements that are subject to specific syntactic constraints that result in them appearing in front of verbs. I therefore propose a new syntactic analysis of relative clauses in Tigrinya that explains not only the appearance of the prefix zɨ- on the left of the subordinate verb, but also its occurrence on both the verb and the auxiliary in periphrastic verbal forms expressing progressive aspect: I suggest that zɨ- is a marker of successive-cyclic movement.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a method for Named-Entity Recognition (NER) for a low-resource language, Tigrinya, using a pre-trained language model. Tigrinya is a morphologically rich, although one of the underrepresented in the field of NLP. This is mainly due to the limited amount of annotated data available. To address this problem, we present the first publicly available datasets of NER for Tigrinya containing two versions, namely, (V1 and V2) annotated manually. The V1 and V2 datasets contain 69,309 and 40,627 tokens, respectively, where the annotations are based on the CoNLL 2003 Beginning, Inside, and Outside (BIO) tagging schema. Specifically, we develop a new pre-trained language model for Tigrinya based on RoBERTa, which we refer to as TigRoBERTa. Our model is then fine-tuned on down-stream tasks on a more specific target NER and POS tasks with limited data. Finally, we further enhance the model performance by applying semi-supervised self-training using unlabeled data. The experimental results show that the method achieved 84% F1-score for NER and 92% accuracy for POS tagging, which is better than or comparable to the baseline method based on the CNN-BiLSTM-CRF.

Abstract:
The premise of this paper is that vowel length plays no role in the synchronic phonology of Tigrinya: processes affecting vowels should be treated in qualitative terms only. The evidence in favor of synchronic vowel length is weak, and stronger evidence favors an analysis in which vowel length is phonologically irrelevant. While some researchers have made use of contrastive vowel length in the modern language to account for ostensible closed-syllable shortening, the analysis presented here shows that the relevant alternations are very limited in scope and represent at best the residue of historical vowel length. The evidence presented includes word minimality, vowel coalescence, wordfinal fronting, guttural lowering, and low dissimilation, with analyses of these phenomena in purely featural terms.

Abstract:
The production of an ejective fricative involves an aerodynamic dilemma. An ejective requires increased intraoral air pressure, while a fricative requires air to be continuously vented through a narrow constriction. This venting may defeat the pressure increase. Because ejectivity is realized by forming a complete oral closure, we hypothesize that complete closure (i.e. affrication) may also typify ejective fricatives in some languages. We test this hypothesis through an acoustic production experiment with speakers of Tigrinya. We find substantial evidence that Tigrinya /s’/ is commonly realized as [ts’] and comment on the plausibility of affrication as a general strategy for the realization of ejective fricatives.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper gives a survey of verbs of falling in Tigrinya (an Ethio-Semitic language spoken in Eritrea and northern Ethiopia). The employment of each verb related to the situation of falling down is illustrated with phrasal examples. The Tigrinya data is further compared with Geez, a closely related extinct language. A special subsection deals with metaphorical use of the basic verb ‘to fall’ in Tigrinya. Tigrinya possesses one basic verb of falling, wädäḳä, which is applied to describe the downward movement of a solid object through the air or a loss of vertical position of a vertically oriented object. Falling of a solid, heavy object, either through the air or, less typically, along an oblique surface, can also be referred to by a special verb ṣädäfä. In all situations deviating from this default situation of falling in Tigrinya, special verbs are employed. Thus, the verbs tägälbäṭä ‘to be overturned, to topple’ or tägämṭälä ‘to be turned over’ are used to describe the situation of toppling, overturning which does not involve physical falling from a higher level to a lower one. Detachment of an object which had been fi rmly fi xed to another object, is usually denoted by the verb moläḳä ‘to slip off ; to become detached’. Falling to pieces of buildings or other built structures is described by the special verbs färäsä ‘to collapse, crumble, to fall’ or ʕanäwä ‘to collapse’ (but ṣädäfä can also be used in such contexts). Detachment of parts of body or plants due to natural reasons is denoted by the special verb rägäfä ‘to fall off (leaves), to break off , break loose (fruit, leaf), to shed a coat (livestock)’ (although the physical falling which is caused by such a detachment can well be described by the verb wädäḳä ‘to fall’). Furthermore, with respect to teeth, a special verb goräfä ‘to lose milk teeth, to have one’s tooth pulled out’ is used, with the possessor of the tooth encoded as the subject, and the tooth itself, as the object. Downward movement of liquids is denoted by a wide range of verbs, such as wäḥazä ‘to fl ow’, näṭäbä ‘to fall in drops, to drop (water), to drip (water)’, fäsäsä ‘to be spilled, poured (out) (water, grain, etc.), to fl ow (liquid, stream), to run (water), to fall (water)’, ṣärär bälä ‘to ooze, exude’, läḥakʷä ‘to drip, run (water along a wall after leaking through a roof), lo leak, to seep, fi lter through (intransitive)’. The verb wärädä ‘to descend’ is also used to describe the movement of liquids from a higher level to the lower. Spilling of granular material is denoted by fäsäsä ‘to be spilled, poured (out) (water, grain, etc.)’. Rolling down is denoted by the verb ʔankoraräyä/ʔankoraräwä ‘to roll’. Downward movement in water is described by the verb ṭäḥalä ‘to sink, to submerge’. Intentional losing of vertical position is described by the verb bäṭṭ bälä ‘to lie down’,and intentional movement from a higher level to the lower is described by wärädä ‘to descend’. The metaphors of falling include the employment of the verb wädäḳä to describe an abrupt, unexpected (and often unpleasant) change. This involves decrease in a measure, loss of interest, the destruction of a social power, arriving of a sudden calamity. A separate group of metaphorical employment is the verb wädäḳä as the standard predicate of such nouns as “lottery” and “lot”, presumably by extension from the situation of dice falling to the ground. Finally, death in battle is also denoted by the verb wädäḳä. The Geez cognate of wädäḳä likewise functions as the basic verb ‘to fall’, whose employment is very similar to, although not identical with, its Tigrinya equivalent. Similarly, Geez ṣadfa does not display any signifi cant diff erence from Tigrinya ṣädäfä in its semantics and usage.

Abstract:
Cette thèse analyse quelques aspects de la phonologie et de la morphologie gie du tigrigna, langue sémitique éthiopienne encore un peu décrite. Elle est aussi l'évaluation implicite d'un modèle dans le cadre de la phonologie plurilinéaire. Le formalisme retenu est caractérisé par la représentation du rythme (Angoujard, 1984) et des segments (Kaye, Lowenstamm, Vergnaud, 1985). La segmentation de la chaine parlée se réfère non à la syllabe mais à un "patron rythmique" ou la relation entre phonie et distribution est strictement établie par la distinction entre obstruantes et sonantes. Dans la représentation phonologique, l'élément est le constituant premier du segment. L’analyse consiste à identifier le modèle rythmique tigrigna, c'est-à-dire les paramètres qui régissent distribution segmentales et combinaisons des unités prosodiques. Cette référence au rythme permet d'expliquer avec un minimum de stipulations un certain nombre de faits jusqu'alors seulement énumérés, voire ignorés, de prédire les alternances segmentales. Celles-ci, expressions de la hiérarchie rythmique, sont prédictibles, qu'elles soient liées à la substance (semi-voyelles, occlusive glottale), à un ajustement prosodique (abrégement, renforcement), à la propagation d'un élément (harmonie)
This thesis analyzes some aspects of the phonology and morphology of tigrinya, an ethiopian semitic language not well-described as yet. It also implicity claims evaluating a particular model within the framework of autosegmental phonology. The proposed formalism (Angoujard, 1984) is characterized mainly by the representation of rhythm in which the rhythmic pattern (patron rythmique) provides directly the relation between sounds and distribution and by the representation of segments (Kaye, Lowenstamm, Vergnaud, 1985) which takes the element as minimal constituent. The analysis proper consists in identifying rhythmic model, in other words the parameters which govern the distribution and organization of prosodic units. By referring to the rhythm, our analysis allows to explain and predict the segmental changes with a minimum of stipulations. These changes being either the consequence of substance (semivowels, glottal stop), prosodic adjustment (shortening, lenthening), or spreading of element (harmony) are all the expression of rhythm

Cette étude historique et comparative des noms propres dans l'aire tigrinyaphone (Eruthrée actuelle) a permis de montrer l'ancienneté et la permanence des rapports linguistiques entre le Guèze et le Tigrinya. Au terme, en effet, une analyse morphologique et sémantique des formes les plus anciennement attestées, on a découvert à côté de quelques formes tigrinyas une prépondérance de formes guèzes. Sur un plan historico-culturel, l'élément le plus significatif de cette étude se révèle être la très grande fréquence des significations religieuses dans les noms propres étudiés, rappelant le rôle majeur du christianisme dans la constitution de l'identité culturelle locale
From a linguistic and comparative approach, the study of proper names in the tigrinyaphone area (the current Erythrea), we are enabled to point out the ancient relationship between Geez and tigrinya langages. Through the morphological and semantic analysis, some aspects of the most formerly documented elements with some tigrinya structures, we find a preponderance of Geez structures. Through a historical point of view, the most significant element appears to be frequency of religious meanings in the studied names. This shows the role of Christianity in the local constitution of a cultural identity

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Depression is one of the oldest known mental health conditions. It is acknowledged to be a global health problem that affects people from any culture or ethnic group. The prevalence of depression widely varied across countries and cultures. The cross-cultural relevance of the concept of depression, its screening or diagnosis, and cultural equivalence of items used to measure symptoms of depression has been area of research interest. Differences in prevalence rates in depression have been suggested as being due to research artifacts, such as use of instrument developed for one culture to another culture. With the current trend of globalization and increased rate of immigration, the need for measurement scales that can be used cross-culturally is becoming essential. Translation and adaptation of existing tools to different languages is time saving and cost effective than developing a new scale. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D; (Radloff, 1977)] has been widely used as a screening tool for depressive symptoms in community and clinical settings. It has been widely accepted and translated to multiple languages and its measurement equivalence tested across groups. This study was designed as a mixed method study. The purpose of this study was three fold: (a) translate and adapt the CES-D scale into Tigrigna Language for use by Tigrigna speaking Eritrean immigrants in the United States using the forward backward translation and cognitive interview techniques (b) test the psychometric properties of the Tigrigna version CES-D scale using confirmatory factor analysis under the framework of structural equation modeling and (c) test measurement equivalence of the scale by comparing data collected from 253 Eritrean immigrants using the Tigrigna version CES-D scale with a secondary data collected from 1918 non Eritrean US citizens using the English version CES-D scale in a separate study. The baseline four factor CES-D scale model originally suggested for the general population fitted the data from both samples. The fit indices for the Tigrigna sample were (χ2 = 299.87, df = 164, RMSEA = .06, SRMR = .06, GFI = .89, and CFI = .98) and for the English sample (χ2 = 1496.81, df = 164, RMSEA = .07, SRMR = .04, GFI = .92, and CFI = .98). The Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis showed reasonably adequate fit (χ2 (328) = 1796.68, RMSEA= .07, SRMR = .06, GFI = .89, CFI = .98). Fourteen of the 20 CES-D items were invariant across the two samples suggesting partial metric invariance. Partial full factor invariance was also supported. In conclusion, the findings of this study provide adequate evidence in support of the applicability of the four factor CES-D scale for measuring depressive symptoms in Tigrigna speaking Eritrean immigrants/refugees in the United States.

Abstract:
Abstract Tigrinya is the working language of the Tigray National Regional State (Ethiopia) and of the government of Eritrea. It is also spoken in Ethiopian and Eritrean diaspora in Israel, Europe, and the USA. Most of its speakers are Christians. The language is used in mass media, education, and administration. Tigrinya orthography is based on the expanded Ethiopic syllabary. The phonological system of Tigrinya contains pharyngeals and laryngeals. The striking feature of the nominal morphology is preservation of the broken plural. The main innovation in the domain of the verbal morphology is the emerging of a new verbal category, based on the morphological converb forms, but having the function of simple perfective.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter argues that, despite initial appearances, Tigrinya (Ethio-Semitic, Eritrea and Northern Ethiopia; SOV) is an asymmetric object language that employs two distinct ditransitive frames. It is argued that these frames are obscured by a surface ambiguity, but are reliably betrayed by the observed object-marking patterns. This analysis provides a way of understanding some unexpected optionality of object marking in ditransitive constructions. It also correctly predicts that various interpretive and structural asymmetries correlate with the observed object-marking pattern. Object marking in Tigrinya, which shows surface symmetry but deep asymmetry, therefore serves a cautionary role in the classification of languages as either symmetric or asymmetric.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter describes how the social foundation of literacy in Ethiopia is entrenched in religion. It underlines that the requirement for education emanated from the institutional interests of churches and mosques. Being literate was synonymous with being clerical, as books and other written materials were almost exclusively on religious matters. The chapter also outlines the start of the production of books and reading materials in Ethiopian languages in the 19th century. It discusses the introduction of newspapers in the late 19th century by Europeans who started to print brief newsletters with a focus mainly on religion but also on Amharic and Tigrinya grammar. Ultimately, this chapter peeks at how journalism and the readership of print media started to grow as a result of improvements in literacy. The chapter also analyzes the expansion of printing presses in Ethiopia and a major change in language policy.

Abstract:
Abstract In this chapter an overview of languages with accusative systems is given. So far thirty languages with an accusative system have been discovered in Africa. A selection of different types is presented here. A complete list is given in figure 2.1 in genealogical order. As the genealogical overview of accusative languages in figure 2.1 illustrates, most of the accusative languages belong to the Nilo-Saharan phylum. Among them are genetically fairly isolated languages like Fur, Maba, Masalit, Kunama, and Ik, a Kuliak language. In addition, there are languages belonging to larger groups, like the Saharan languages Kanuri and Tubu, and some Eastern Sudanic languages, like Nobiin, Mararit, Tama, and Nyimang. In the Afroasiatic phylum, accusative languages are found in particular within the Semitic languages, such as Amharic, Argobba, Gafat, Tigre, Tigrinya, Harari, and Gurage; the Central Cushitic languages, such as Awngi, Xamtanga, Bilin, and Kemantney; and some Omotic languages such as Masketo, Hamar, Dime, and Aari also belong here. In addition, it can be argued that the Khoisan language Khoekhoe (Nama) and the Central Heiban language of the Kordofanian phylum are accusative languages. (For Khoekhoe see section 5.4.2).

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter examines the Central Cushitic (or Agaw) language spoken in the Wag Hemra Zone of the Amhara Region of Ethiopia: Xamtanga. Xamtanga is a working and educational language in the Wag Hemra Zone. The chapter argues that Xamtanga is employed as the primary medium of communication by all ages and in all domains in Ziqwala and Abergelle. Bilingualism in Amharic and/or in Tigrinya is extremely frequent. This chapter then explores the five dialects of Xamtanga: Soqota (South East), S’agibji (East), Ziqwala (Central), Semen/Sihalla (West), and Abergelle (North). Ultimately, the chapter analyzes the Xamtanga phonology, verbal morphology, nominal morphology, pronominal morphology, and pragmatics.
