Does proposition have a schwa sound?

No, "proposition" does not have a schwa sound.

Here's why:

* Schwa sound (ə): This is a very short, unstressed vowel sound that is often found in unstressed syllables.

* "Proposition" All the syllables in this word are stressed: prop-o-si-tion.

Therefore, there is no unstressed syllable in "proposition" where a schwa sound would occur.
