意味

A conjunction meaning 'and' or 'as well as,' used to combine two nouns or noun phrases in formal contexts. It indicates that the connected items are of comparable importance or status.

ならびに is a formal conjunctive particle used to link nouns or noun phrases, functioning like a high-register 'and.' It is significantly more formal than と or や and is standard in legal texts, official announcements, ceremonies, and bureaucratic documents. In legislative drafting, ならびに connects larger groupings, while 及び connects items within those groupings — though in general formal usage, this hierarchical distinction is not always strictly observed. Unlike 及び, which is also formal, ならびに tends to appear when the items being connected are of parallel status or equal weight. It is rarely used in casual speech.
