This article proposes a thesis on communicational phenomena, which are considered “tentative”. We have adopted as reference the five theses presented by Ciro Marcondes in 2004 about the rarity of communication, which include a viewpoint about its absence. In conjunction with and extending these arguments, the article develops the proposition that a tentative nature is manifest in the variable probability of achieving communication objectives, as well as in the degrees of imprecision of the process itself. A correlation is drawn between these characteristics and the activities of the participants and socially produced interactional devices. A reflection upon codes and inferences is presented to epistemologically support the proposed thesis. The thesis is then readdressed as a heuristic hypothesis for empirical research and for praxeological work in the field of communication.Downloads
