This is an interview with Mary Nell Bryant. I am doing this on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training (ADST), and I am Charles Stewart Kennedy. Do you call yourself Mary Nell, or…? BRYANT: Mary Nell. Q: Okay. Mary Nell, let's talk about when and where you were born. BRYANT: Miami, Florida in 1952. I was born and raised there. Q: Let's talk a bit on your father's side; then we will come to your mother's side. Where did Mr. Bryant come from, and what do you know about that side of the family? BRYANT: My father, Calvin Schofield Bryant, was born on a United Fruit plantation in Tela, Honduras, on the Caribbean coast. His father was Calvin Oak Bryant of Lakeland, Florida; his mother Nellie Schofield of Corozal, Belize, which is a seaside town now considered a great expat relocation destination. The Nell in my name comes from my paternal grandmother. My father’s first years were spent growing up on the United Fruit compound in Tela. Q: What do you know, say, at the grandfather level and the grandmother level? What do you know about that? What they were up to and…? BRYANT: My grandmother was born and raised in Corozal, one of 16 children of Ernest Augustus Henry Schofield and Petronita Novella. (Ten of the children lived to adulthood: Rosita, Dora, Ines, Mito, Tavo, Tom, Ernesto, Ida, Nellie Armitage and Judy.) Ernest Augustus Schofield came from London in 1879 at age 19 to work in his father’s lumber and shipping business.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • A Processability Approach to the Acquisition of Italian
    A Processability Approach to the Acquisition of Italian as a Second Language: Theory and Applications Bruno Di Biase August, 2007 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The Australian National University © Bruno Di Biase 2007-08-25 This thesis is mainly my own original work and contains a number of co-authored publications. The latter are clearly indicated in the Introduction and in the contextual introduction specifically written for each Section of the thesis. The nature of my own contribution is likewise specified. _________________________________ Bruno Di Biase August, 2007, Canberra i Acknowledgments Many people have contributed directly and indirectly to this thesis, materially, psychologically and spiritually. While I cannot mention them all here I wish to dedicate my thesis to those, without whose help this work would not have been possible. Amongst all of these, special thanks go to my students, as well as all of those who willingly undertook the role of informants, the teachers and the children who at various times participated in my research. They taught me so much. In particular, my gratitude goes to my supervisory panel, Louise Jansen for her determination, continuous encouragement in the face of adversity, generous hospitality and perceptive criticism; Avery Andrews for his indispensable help with Lexical Functional Grammar, and Manfred Pienemann, as well as my former supervisor Tony Liddicoat for his encouragement and guidance. Manfred Pienemann, of course, deserves a very special mention as the creator of Processability Theory, and as a mentor over many years, and stimulus for my research. Much of what I understand about acquisition and research is owing to him.
