here's some more McCawley:
Consideration of these examples makes it fairly clear that the "fuck"
of (12a)–(20a) (henceforth fuck1) and the "fuck" of (2) (henceforth fuck2) are two distinct homophonous lexical items. These two lexical
items have totally different selectional restrictions, as is shown by the examples:
(26) Fuck these irregular verbs.
(27) *John fucked these irregular verbs.
(28) Fuck communism.
(29) *John fucked communism.
