    The purpose of the paper is to extend to (commutative) basic algebras a result of P. Wojciechowski that states that there exist linearly ordered MV-algebras of any infinite cardinality. Basic algebras arise in the study of both many-valued logics and logics of quantum mechanics. The class of MV-algebras is a proper subclass of the class of commutative basic algebras, which leaves it to the authors to find, for any infinite cardinal, a linearly ordered commutative basic algebra of that cardinality which is not an MV-algebra. They accomplish this by starting from the construction by P. Wojciechowski and changing the resulting infinite linearly ordered MV-algebra into a linearly ordered commutative basic algebra which is not an MV-algebra, but has the same cardinality as the MV-algebra it has been obtained from and, moreover, is subdirectly irreducible. They show that their technique, using a system of deformation functions for changing the implication operation, is applicable to any MV-algebra.
