An analysis of one narrative shows how loudness of voice acquires indexical meaning in interaction and becomes a resource for the narrator to position himself along an axis of social differentiation defined in terms of morality. The narrative was collected among young, male, migrant hip hop artists in Delhi who experienced ethnic othering. In the narrative, loudness registers are used to establish voice contrasts between two antagonistic characters: the racist people of Delhi and the cosmopolitan hip hop self. The racist people speak in soft (piano) and loud (forte) registers, while the cosmopolitan self speaks in normal‐volume registers. The prosodic normalization of the self allows the narrator to differentiate himself from racist others, take moral stances on global solidarity, and construct his cosmopolitan identity.

响度寄存器：在种族外遇叙事中规范世界性身份

对一种叙述的分析表明，声音的响度如何在交互中获得索引意义，并成为叙事者将自己置于道德定义的社会分化轴上的一种资源。叙述是在德里的年轻男性男性移民嘻哈艺术家中收集的，他们经历了其他种族的交流。在叙述中，响度记录器用于建立两个对立字符之间的声音对比：德里的种族主义者和国际化的嘻哈自我。种族主义者以轻声（钢琴）和大声（强音）说话）登记簿，而世界性的自我则以普通音量登记簿讲话。自我的韵律规范化使叙述者能够将自己与种族主义他人区分开，对全球团结采取道德立场，并建构他的国际化身份。
