Abstract:

A descriptive grammar of the Bassa-nge language presents a comprehensive 
description of an endangered language spoken in Kogi State-Nigeria. The 
language belongs to the Niger-Kordofanian phylum of the Kwa family. The 
12,000 speakers of the language occupy the eastern side of the confluence 
of the river Niger and Benue, though some of them still live on the side of 
river Lokoja. The Grammar book has four chapters. The first chapter 
discusses the geographical location of the language, historical origin and 
settlement of the people and the classification of the language. The second 
chapter treats the phonology of the language enumerating the consonant and 
vowel systems.

The third chapter briefly discusses the nominal and verbal morphology of the 
language while, the last chapter treats the syntax of the language, discussing 
the structure of the nominal and verbal phrases, identifying all the possible 
constituents that can occur in each of the phrases. These are supported with 
tree diagram of the sentences analyzed as well as phrase structure rules. 

The book's authors, Mohammed Aminu Mu'azu, Jidda Hassan Juma'a and 
Suleman Sokomba Tebu are graduates of General linguistics and Associate 
Professors in the Department of Languages and Linguistics, University of 
Maiduguri-Nigeria.
