In linguistics, particularly phonetics and phonology, schwa refers to the mid-central vowel sound in the middle of the vowel chart, denoted by the IPA symbol, or another vowel close to that location. An example of Schwa in English is found in unstressed positions, but some other languages it occurs more frequently as a stressed vowel.
