. . "?), Russell offers a recipe for paraphrasing standard types of whole sentence containing "the," in such a way as to exhibit the role of "the" indirectly, and to reveal what he called the sentences' "logical forms." (He does not here treat plural uses of "the," or the generic use as in "The whale is a mammal." Notice that definite descriptions can be formed without use of "the," for example by way of possessives, as in "my brother" or "Doris' egg salad sandwich," though perhaps we might paraphrase those along the lines of "the brother of me.") Here is Russell's contextual definition of "the." Let us take a paradigmatic sentence, of the form "The F is G." (5) The author of Waverley was Scotch.4 (5) appears to be a simple subjectpredicate sentence, referring to an individual (Sir Walter Scott) and predicating something (Scottishness) of him. But appearances are deceiving, Russell says. Notice that the ostensible

Literal translations of these paraphrases Á instead of their replacement by the culture-specific items existing in Romanian language Á would, obviously, surprise the readers, and that is precisely why they need to be used. Paraphrase, which was for the travel narrator a domesticating strategy, becomes, for the translator, a foreignizing one, as it distances the readers from a culturally familiar object, making them reflect on those elements that are regarded as different by the foreign travellers.
secrecy, Ibn ad-Duraihim, according to Qalqashandi, gave seven systems of ciphers. This list encompassed, for the first time in cryptography, both transposition and substitution ciphers. Moreover, one system is the first known cipher ever to provide more than one substitute for a plaintext letter. Remarkable and important as this is, however, it is overshadowed by what follows— the first exposition on cryptanalysis in history. It appeared in full maturity in Qalqashandi's paraphrase of Ibn ad- Duraihim, but its beginnings are probably to be found in the intense and minute scrutiny of the Koran by whole schools of grammarians in Basra, Kufa, and Baghdad to elucidate its meanings. Among other studies, they counted the frequency of words to attempt a chronology for the chapters of the Koran, certain words being considered as having been used only in the later chapters. Lexicography advanced this. In making a dictionary,
