The data originate from two different studies. The auditory data by Pascoe (1987) include n = 26 speakers (instructional-setting learners from southern Bavaria; age: 14-16 years), who produced a total of n = 644 tokens. These data were elicited with the re-telling of a picture story. The productions were classified as "voiceless", "devoiced", and "voiced". The acoustic data by Soenning (2020) include n = 62 German learners (instructional-setting learners from northern Bavaria; age: 11-30) and n = 26 native speakers (BrE and AmE). Two reading tasks were used for data elicitation: a word list and short carrier phrases ("I said ..., not ..."). Each subject produced n = 11 minimal pairs, which contrasted in final obstruent voicing, yielding 284 tokens (i.e. minimal pairs) for the native speakers and n = 619 tokens (i.e. word pairs) for the learners.
