Hello Paul,
Segal's grammar is the classic. He was the one who demonstrated the type of
Hebrew attested in the Mishnah was a living language, not simply an
artificial reconstruction. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, (e.g.,
4QMMT) confirms this.
But Segal is a bit dated, so now I'd recommend Perez-Fernandez, translated by
John Elwolde. http://www.amazon.com/Introductory-Grammar-Rabbinic-Hebrew/dp/9004108904
