Hi Innogen, Welcome to the forums! org/dictionary/british/process_1 (only for the latter: hit the red loudspeaker for the British pronounciation).

thanks but you've missed my point.
my point is: where british pronunciation is concerned, is there a distinction made between "process" when it is a noun and when it is a verb?
when it is a noun, the stress is on the first syllable /'pr??.ses/
when it is a verb, where is the stress?
british speakers, please help!

Hey Innogen,
Both those examples the same: PROcess. But there's another verb, to proCESS, which means to walk in a procession.
So, 'It's a long PROcess to get into the army - they take ages to PROcess your application. And when you're there, you just proCESS up and down a square.'
It's a pretty rare verb, though …
