Infant directed speech (IDS) is the special speech register used to talk to human infants. This paper provides an historical and theoretical background to the study of IDS and special speech registers, as an introduction to four papers which follow. These are concerned with Australian IDS [Kitamura & Burnham], Thai IDS [Thanavisuth & Luksaneeyanawin; Luksaneeyanawin, Thanavisuth, Sittigasorn, & Rukkarangsarit], and Australian pet directed speech [Burnham, Francis, Vollmer-Conna, Kitamura, Averkiou, Olley, Nguyen, & Paterson].
