Uses of その他/他に(も)/他(に)は


I’m currently studying tobira and in ch9 there is this sentence

> 「浪人」というのは、もともと「主人のいない侍」のことを意味したが、今は希望の大学に入れなかったために予備校に行ったりしながら受験勉強をしている人達
> のことを指す。 **その他** 、受験の厳しさを表す言葉には「四当五落」や「試験地獄」という表現もある。

I understand that the use of that その他 is “in addition to” from the context,
but according to Tobira’s ch3 it has to be either ~他に(も) or ~他(に)は to mean "in
addition to/besides". My question is, is it possible for a regular その他 to have
the meaning of “in addition to/besides”?




As a sentence adverb, その他 does not have much difference with 他に. They both
mean that the upcoming sentence is a supplement/digression. It however does
not equal 他に **は／も** because the additional topic particle suggests that the
sentence has something to do with the main context in some way ("what's more"
etc).

> その他、受験の厳しさを表す言葉には……もある  
>  他に、受験の厳しさを表す言葉には……もある  
>  "As something else, there are more words that illustrate the bitterness of
> entry exams, ..."  
>  ≈ _Other words that illustrate the bitterness of entry exams include..._

Note that その他 is mostly an adverb while 他【ほか】 as such is a **noun** ("other
people/place/thing..."), and not interchangeable when it is used as a plain
noun.

> 他に（× その他）迷惑をかけないでほしい  
>  _I'd rather you don't bother the others._
