contents Curve singularities are classical objects of study in algebraic geometry. The key player in their combinatorial structure is the {\it value semigroup}, or its compactification, the {\it value semiring}. One natural problem is to explicitly determine the value semirings of distinguished infinite classes of singularities, with a view to understanding their asymptotic properties. In this paper, we establish a matroidal framework for resolving this problem for singularities determined by arrangements of toric branches; and we obtain precise quantitative results in the case of line arrangements. Our results have implications for the topology of Severi varieties of unisingular rational curves in projective space.
