In this paper we investigate correcting properties of LDPC codes obtained from families of algebraic graphs. The graphs considered in this article come from the infinite incidence structure. We describe how to construct these codes, choose the parameters and present several simulations, done by using the MAP decoder. We describe how error correcting properties are dependent on the graph structu...

English present perfect is usually divided into several types; however, analysis of concrete examples shows that such classifications into types depend on the context and on some semantic features of verbs. This paper discusses the interaction between such features and present perfect with the examples from the contemporary British novel (Lodge 1989). The discussed examples point to the followi...
