又…も (framing pattern: "also, moreover")
又も (compound adverb: "once again, yet again")
又…も…も (alternatives: "both…and…" / "or")
The expression 又~も (また~も) uses the adverb また又 (また) together with the particle も to express addition, emphasis on repetition, or alternatives. It appears frequently in written Japanese and somewhat formal speech. There are several distinct usages:
When 又 and も frame a word or phrase, the combination emphasizes that something additional is true or applies. 又 introduces the new information, and も reinforces the inclusive "also/too" meaning.
This pattern is used alongside structures like ~であり or ~だけでなく to list multiple qualities or facts about a subject.
When 又も appears together as a unit (with nothing between them), it emphasizes repetition – that something is happening yet again. It carries a slightly literary or dramatic tone compared to simply saying また.
又 can also be used to present alternatives, similar to または. In this usage, も is not always present.
This "or" usage is common in written and formal contexts such as instructions, forms, and announcements.
