Perhaps a Dumb Question

Apologies if this has been covered previously - I really have little to add to the discussion that isn't rather biased - but I'm curious.

How does Airbus enunciate stall warning? I'm thinking a 'stick shaker' type alert isn't consistent with the side stick controller, so is some sort of verbal "STALL"?
I know there have been accidents in the past where the flight crew - when confronted with a stick shaker combined with UAS - apparently concluded it was Mach buffet and continued to do the wrong thing. I'm trying to understand how this flight crew could have dismissed a stall warning (even if it subsequently went away). Hence am curious on how that warning gets enunciated.
