Speakers Speaking
 What’s the schwa?
The schwa, in fact, is the most
frequently occurring sound in spoken
English, but many speakers-even
native-born American English
speakers-may not be technically
familiar with it. Learning to use the
schwa is critical in helping you to
improve your accent.
Argentine Spanish Speakers
Speaking
What is the schwa?
1. A mid-central neutral vowel, typically
occurring in unstressed syllables, as the final
vowel of English sofa.
2. The symbol (ə ) used to represent an
unstressed neutral vowel and, in some systems
of phonetic transcription, a stressed mid-central
vowel, as in but.
