Not so. The stall warning can be generated in normal law, but the idea is that NL should prevent you from getting to a point where you need it.

Sufficiently violent windshear has triggered the stall warning in the past on A320 series but the difference is that the aircraft is already applying full down elevator input as it occurs and will recover from the stall itself.
