Biography
Under the pseudonym "Quang Phúc Đông" (supposedly a linguist at the fictitious South Hanoi Institute of Technology), McCawley wrote a paper on "English sentences without overt grammatical subject." A French translation of this paper was published in 1969. McCawley also wrote about "pornolinguistics" and "scatolinguistics".
