AbstractThis special issue of the journal is dedicated to the memory of Michael Clyne. The papers published here were originally presented at a roundtable organised by the Language and Society Centre at Monash University, a research centre founded by Michael. They present research on topics which occupied Michael throughout his career: the language use of migrants in Australia, the behaviour of multilingual individuals and the nature of multilingual interactions. The papers all draw on research conducted in the city of Melbourne, Michael's home for most of his life. We hope that this close alignment between the research published here and Michael's interests ensures an appropriate tribute to the work of a distinguished scholar and an esteemed colleague.Keywords: multilingualismmigrationmigrantsMelbourne AcknowledgementWe are grateful to Julie Bradshaw and Howie Manns for their helpful comments on a draft of this introduction which led to numerous improvements.Notes1. http://www.iom.int/jahia/Jahia/about-migration/key-migration-terms/lang/en2.
