In a sentence
Նա ցանկանում էր ոչ միայն երգել, այլեւ պարել։

In this sentence, "այլեւ" is used as a conjunction to add additional information, emphasizing an inclusive action.

The teacher talked about the exam and also answered the students' questions.
Here, "այլեւ" functions similarly, connecting two sequential actions to show inclusiveness and flow.
Մենք պարզեցինք ոչ միայն արդյունաբերական բնագավառի խնդիրները, այլեւ գյուղատնտեսության ոլորտի դժվարությունները։
We identified not only the problems in the industrial sector but also the difficulties in agriculture.
In this usage, "այլեւ" adds a secondary yet significant point of discussion to complement the primary one.
