As a major economic, relational, and identity resource, communication is crucial to the well-being and success of young people. And yet adolescents are typically characterized in the media as inadequate communicators, whose language practices adults bemoan as unintelligible and deleterious. In looking to critique these pervasive stereotypes, the editors of Talking Adolescence have brought together some of the world's leading experts on youth and adolescence, whose interdisciplinary research demonstrates how communication powerfully structures and meaningfully facilitates the lives of young people. Adding to the growing literature on intergenerational and lifespan communication, Talking Adolescence is the first substantive volume devoted to young people.

Industry Reviews

With top scholars from numerous disciplines, 'Talking Adolescence' fills an important knowledge gap in our understanding of lifespan communication. It will be required reading for any scholar interested in significant relationships throughout the lifespan, and it will also ignite numerous investigations into the communicative experiences of young people and those of us who interact frequently with them. (Jon Nussbaum, Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences, Penn State University, U.S.A.)
It is a pleasure to see this book in print, and to know that academics are taking adolescence seriously. The topics covered here are of great scholarly interest, as well as being of value for anyone working with young people. I recommend this book unreservedly. (John Coleman, Director of the Trust for the Study of Adolescence, England)
