Description: German has various homophonous sibilant fricatives of phonemic or morphemic nature that can appear in word-final position. In English, the functional status of a word-final \s\ influences its durational properties, with phonemic \s\ being longer than morphemic types. The data set presented here is a small selection of laboratory-elicited German sentences containing various words with final sibilant phonemes (e.g., "das Haus") and morphemes (plural, genitive, clitic, inflection). Durations of the \s\ types were measured and compared across the conditions. An ANOVA between the \s\ types and post-hoc Tukey pair-wise comparisons are presented that show various significant differences. The submission consists of a csv data file, containing a number of variables, and a PDF document detailing the experiment and variables.
