About this pattern
Explanation
又 is used to add another item or point in a sequence, similar to また, but with a slightly more formal or literary nuance. It often appears to place two or more statements on equal footing, emphasizing that the second item is true in addition to the first. It can be used in written language, lists, or more formal speech. Note that も attaches to the second item to show inclusion, and the placement can be inside a sentence or at the start of a clause. When both items are negative or when contrasting tones are needed, the nuance can shift toward emphasis on the second point.
