I believe the answer is:

assertions

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'claims' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'senoras sit around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'senoras'+'sit'='senorassit'
'senorassit' with letters rearranged gives 'ASSERTIONS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for assertions that I've seen is " Positive statements".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
