Table-1. Phonological position of schwa Table-3. Production of Potential-Schwa Words by Muna Language Speaker ‘he data of this study were collected through several tages. Firstly, the participant read 27 isolated words in a ilent chamber. The word list read were recorded. All of he words selected were familiar words for the participant. ‘he participant firstly previewed all the words listed and onfirmed that all the words were familiar for him. Each vord in the list contains schwa sound in different positions. ‘there were three groups of words based on schwa sitions read by participants. The first group was nine nitial-position schwa words with /#aC/ sequences. The econd group was nine medial-position schwa words with CaC/ sequence. The third group was nine final-position chwa words with /Ca#/ sequence. The list of the words is s follows:

*Refer to phonetic transcription on Online Cambridge Dictionary sound (Fromkind, 2018). In summary, schwa sound is replaced by five vowels. They are low central vowel /a/, high back vowel /u:/, low-mid back vowel /9:/ and low- mid front vowel/e/. Based on Table-3, from the 27 words given to pronounce by the participant, only six words of potential schwa words are produced with schwa pertinently as in GA production. In group of initial-position schwa words, schwa sound as in GA pronunciation is identified in alone [9'‘loon] and against [9 gems], while in final-position schwa words, it is only found in area ['er.i.o]. More significant than in initial and final schwa position, in medial-position schwa words, there are four words identified to have schwa as in GA production.

Figure-1 shows the difference position of schwa realized by Muna speaker. The participant changed the stress of word upon by replacing schwa in initial position by low central vowel /a/.It is interesting because the schwa which appears in initial in GA pronunciation occurred in the second syllable replacing low-mid back vowel /9:/after voiceless bilabial stop /p/. Contrast with other words in which schwa is generally replaced by other vowel only or absent, in this case, the schwa is realized in different the position.
