accordance with; as 〜, accordingly; in proportion to
--- Notes ---
＊Ｖ(nonpast dict. form) + に従って/に従い is used to express that
something beyond human control takes place simultaneously with something
else that goes on. The verbs in both main and subordinate clauses do not
express a momentary action, but a continuous process. See example #6351.
＊In the case of Ｎ + に従って/に従い, the previous note is not
applicable. When used after a noun, this construction expresses that what
occurs is momentary or non-spontaneous. See example #6350.
＊This grammar CANNOT be preceeded by an adjective or the copula verb
(だ/です). Preceeding verbs must be nonpast.
＊従い is used in written Japanese whereas 従って is used in both
written and spoken Japanese.
FORMATION:
Ｖ(dict. form) + に従って/に従い
Ｎ + に従って/に従い

there are a few other phrases like this, where verb and noun have different
effects. see explanation on totomoni (contributor: dc)
sometimes in kanji too: に従って (contributor: dc)
see totomoni for some similarities and explanation (contributor: dc)
Not sure what you mean by 'verb and noun have different effects'
(contributor: Amatuka)
The second example 従って should be 接続詞 conjunction. Other
exampels are transformation of verb 従う. (contributor: Miki)
I think the 'Please do it according to the manner I showed you' example
could be shortened to 'Please do it as I showed you'. All the examples I've
seen with nishitagatte could be translated as 'as'. It seems somewhat
different if you don't use it as a conjunction though. (contributor:

feel free to edit... I agree although it is a bit of a pompous expression
in japanese too perhaps. (contributor: dc)
I agree and changed the example. (contributor: bamboo4)
Miki-san is correct. We are mixing apples and oranges here. (contributor:

Ya, i agree that some examples that doesn't mean 'following , に従って'
got mixed up here.
I think ex #552 is considered ok under this category, although it doesn't
use にin front of 従って. That doesn't matter since the meaning is the
same. Well, u can say 'Accordingly' or ' Following that' here.
But for ex #1200 is actually に ＋ 従って of the verb 従う - '
follows ' . so this example got mixed up in this category. (contributor:
