本文探讨了跨国公民社会领域的翻译、多语言和语言政策等方面。本文重点关注国际特赦组织（一个在全球治理中发挥关键作用的国际非政府组织）的翻译政策，旨在为全球化敏感的社会语言学做出贡献。它认为，将社会语言学方法（更准确地说是语言民族志）与翻译研究相结合可以增强对所研究的语言实践的理解。此外，文章呼吁进行更多的跨学科研究，指出社会语言学和翻译研究有空间通过强调多语言的作用并挑战英语在跨国公民社会中的传统强势地位，为国际关系和发展研究做出贡献。
This article explores aspects of translation, multilingualism and language policy in the field of transnational civil society. By focusing on translation policies at Amnesty International, an international non-governmental organisation that performs a key role in global governance, this article seeks to contribute to a globalisation-sensitive sociolinguistics. It argues that combining a sociolinguistic approach – more precisely linguistic ethnography – with translation studies leads to an increased understanding of the language practices under study. Furthermore, the article calls for more interdisciplinary research, stating that there is space for sociolinguistics and translation studies to contribute to research in international relations and development studies by highlighting the role of multilingualism and challenging the traditionally powerful position of English in transnational civil society.
