Activityalso

Activityalso is a neologism used in some discussions of human–computer interaction and linguistics to describe a relationship between actions in which a primary activity is accompanied by a second, related action. The term has no single, widely accepted definition and is not established in major reference works; it appears primarily in informal discourse and small-scale research contexts.

The term blends "activity" with "also" and is typically introduced as a shorthand for additive or parallel action. It has appeared in online forums, workshop notes, and early-stage research papers dating from the late 2010s onward, without achieving formal standardization.

In computing and user experience design, activityalso is used descriptively to refer to interfaces or APIs that trigger multiple outcomes from one input, such as performing a data write while initiating a validation log. In programming language discussions, it may denote constructs that annotate expressions with additional concurrent tasks or side effects.

In linguistic analysis, activityalso can be used to discuss adverbial or verbal constructions that modify or relate two activities concurrently, or to analyze discourse markers that signal that an action is complemented by an additional, associated action. The term is best treated as a heuristic rather than a formal category.
