  title = {Good-enough language production},
  abstract = {<p>Our ability to comprehend and produce language is one of humans{\textquoteright} most impressive skills, but it is not flawless. We must convey and interpret messages via a noisy channel in ever-changing contexts and we sometimes fail to access an optimal combination of words and grammatical constructions. Here, we extend the notion of good-enough (GN) comprehension to GN production, which allows us to unify a wide range of phenomena including overly vague word choices, agreement errors, resumptive pronouns, transfer effects, and children{\textquoteright}s overextensions and regularizations. We suggest these all involve the accessing and production of a {\textquoteleft}GN{\textquoteright} option when a more-optimal option is inaccessible. The role of accessibility highlights the need to relate memory encoding and retrieval processes to language comprehension and production.</p>},
