Editing Indonesian language (section)

=== Stress ===
Indonesian has light [[Stress (linguistics)|stress]] that falls on either the final or [[Penult|penultimate syllable]], depending on regional variations as well as the presence of the schwa ({{IPA|/ə/}}) in a word. It is generally the penultimate syllable that is stressed, unless its vowel is a schwa {{IPA|/ə/}}. If the penult has a schwa, then stress usually moves to the final syllable.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Soderberg |first1=Craig D. |last2=Olson |first2=Kenneth S. |date=2008 |title=Indonesian |journal=Journal of the International Phonetic Association |volume=38 |issue=2 |pages=209–213 |doi=10.1017/S0025100308003320|doi-access=free }}</ref>

However, there is some disagreement among linguists over whether stress is phonemic (unpredictable), with some analyses suggesting that there is no underlying stress in Indonesian.<ref name="ClynesDet2011" /><ref name="Zur2008">{{cite journal |first1=Zuraidah |last1=Mohd Don |last2=Knowles |first2=G. |last3=Yong |first3=J. |year=2008 |title=How words can be misleading: A study of syllable timing and 'stress' in Malay |journal=The Linguistics Journal |volume=3 |issue=2 |url=https://www.linguistics-journal.com/2014/01/08/how-words-can-be-misleading-a-study-of-syllable-timing-and-stress-in-malay/ |access-date=13 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190801235943/https://www.linguistics-journal.com/2014/01/08/how-words-can-be-misleading-a-study-of-syllable-timing-and-stress-in-malay/ |archive-date=1 August 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://email.eva.mpg.de/~gil/ismil/11/abstracts/Gil.pdf |access-date=25 March 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120225063313/http://email.eva.mpg.de/~gil/ismil/11/abstracts/Gil.pdf |archive-date=25 February 2012  |last=Gil |first=David |title=A Typology of Stress, And Where Malay/Indonesian Fits In}} (abstract only)</ref>
