It's dictionary form verb + とともに

According to Jgram these constructions are also possible:
Ｎ・なＡ(stem) + である + とともに
いＡ + とともに

According to my books this grammar point can actually be split to three or four different, although similar meanings. One means to do something together with, one means at the same time (同時） as you have here, another shows when one thing changes, so does another and finally my ALC book lists a fourth definition which is "in addition to." Maybe we can split this one up a bit, what do you think?

Ok - I've done some investigation myself, and here's what I've come up with. Let me know what you think about it - and if it looks good, we can update the page:

Meaning 1:
While A changes, B changes along with it (shows relation between the two events)
Verb とともに Verb

Meaning 2:
A as well as B
Noun とともに Noun
followed by a common attribute of the 2 nouns

Meaning 3:
A and B do something together
Noun とともに Noun

Meaning 4:
A as well as B (descriptors)
Nouns/adjectives
A とともに B

Looks good to me. Meaning 1 can also take verbs in dictionary form. Meaning 3 can also take verbs, adjectives and Nである form. Finally I'd also put "in addition to" as part of the definition of #4.

How can meaning 3 take verbs and adjectives if it's describing two people doing something together?

Then let me clarify the definition, it's when A and B perform the same action. :P

I think the definition you have now at the top is the best. It's a strange grammar point though because when I think of 同時 I think of at that exact moment but that's not necessarily true. For example, 彼は東京に転勤するとともに、結婚して家庭を持ったA(LC)。Who knows what the time difference there is... blah.

With what I looked up, though, that's a different meaning. Let me see if I can clarify this a bit:

Meaning 1:
While A occurs, B also occurs; A and B occur at the same time (this is the one that's closest to 同時に)
Verb/N/na-adj とともに

Meaning 2:
A as well as B (both share a common attribute C) - this is close to 'AとBはどっちもCだ'
Noun とともに Noun

Meaning 3:
A and B do something together (AとBはCをする)
Noun とともに Noun

Meaning 4:
A as well as B; in addition to A, B (SubjectはAでBです)
Nouns/na-adjectives
A とともに B

1, 3 and 4 all seem good to me but I don't see instances of 2 anywhere. The only other definition of とともに I'm seeing shows change using words that express motion. Ex. As it gets warmer, the flowers start to bloom. Although the number 2 definition make sense and seems to fit in just fine with the とともに usage.

I have it but it's still packed away somewhere in boxes(T_T). Do you see the one I'm talking about anywhere? I'm getting it from the ALC series as well as the Kanzen master book.

It wasn't in the dictionary, but it is loosely referred to in another text. What if it was 'As [A] changes, [B] changes with it?' I don't see any restriction for 'motion' though. How's that sound?

Hah no prob. Sorry motion was a poor choice of a word there. I do however think that the words must express change　なる、出てくる、増えている as well as nouns like 経済成長(完全マスター)、人口・・・ The definition sounds good to me!

Looking good! For meaning 3, it doesn't have to be a NとともにN or VとともにV formation. It can be NとともにV and vice-versa.
