RT list: inference in encoding?

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know of any work that has been concerned with the role of
inference during the encoding stage (for the speaker) rather than the
decoding stage (for the hearer)?
For example, what kind of inferential activity is going on in the mind of
the speaker when s/he utters a referring expression?

Thanks
