This study investigates the Lombard effect, where individuals adapt their speech in noisy environments. We introduce an enhanced Mandarin Lombard grid (EMALG) corpus with meaningful sentences , enhancing the Mandarin Lombard grid (MALG) corpus. EMALG features 34 speakers and improves recording setups, addressing challenges faced by MALG with nonsense sentences. Our findings reveal that in Mandarin, female exhibit a more pronounced Lombard effect than male, particularly when uttering meaningful sentences. Additionally, we uncover that nonsense sentences negatively impact Lombard effect analysis. Moreover, our results reaffirm the consistency in the Lombard effect comparison between English and Mandarin found in previous research.
