About に伴って・に伴い
When the う-Verb 伴う 'to accompany' in its て-form is used with に and attached to the end of nouns or verbs in their dictionary forms, it is regularly translated as 'due to (A), (B)', 'hand in hand with (A), (B)', or 'along with (A), (B)'. In all of these meanings, the base interpretation of 'to accompany' is being highlighted.
As 'accompanying' does not specifically indicate that (A) is controlling (B), this grammar structure may be used simply to indicate things that happen at the same time, rather than when something is being directly caused by the first. However, (A) having a strong influence on the change of (B) is usually implied.
に伴う may also appear directly before another noun when it is being modified by the verb.
に伴って is used both for events that are progressively changing at the same time, and momentary events that cause a sudden change.

Hey @ArsDiaboli !
We apologize for the late response.
に伴って・に伴い・に伴う is usually used to express ‘As A changes, B also changes’, but it can also be used to express ‘A happens at the same time as B’.
For example, 火傷に伴う痛みは神経への刺激が原因だとされている。Here, に伴う is used as ‘associated with’ because this sentence is describing how ‘a burn is painful because there is nerve stimulation going on at the same time.’
We hope that answers your question!

Hi @Fuga
Hope you are well.
Could you please clarify why this phrase uses a negative form of "に伴って”？
円高にともない輸出の量は減る。
As the value of the yen rises, the volume of export decreases. [along with・consequent upon]Thanks!

Hey @Joellaumelb !
に伴い is not the negative form of 伴って, but it is the conjunctive form of 伴う. 伴って is 伴い conjugated using the て-form.
In most cases they can be used interchangeably.
Hope that clears it up!
