Sons watch Bill (7)
I believe the answer is:
sticker
'bill' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'sons watch' is the wordplay.
'sons' becomes 's'.
'watch' becomes 'ticker' (synonyms).
's'+'ticker'='STICKER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sticker that I've seen before include "problem" , "Person with staying power" , "Adhesive label" , "Determined person" , "Gummed label" .)
