[Lingtyp] Question-answer coordination

[David Erschler]

Dear all,

I am wondering whether anyone has encountered any typological counterparts
of the following construction in Colloquial Georgian.

An answer to a wh-question can consist of a repetition of the question (or
of the wh-phrase from it) and the actual answer.
Schematically
Q: What did you buy?
A: [What / What did I buy] and [some bread]
Actual example
Q: ra               iq'ide                          A: [ra (viq'ide)]
                   da [p'uri]
     what.NOM buy.AOR.2SG               what.NOM buy.AOR.1SG  &   bread.NOM
    'What did you buy?'                         'Bread' lit. 'What did I
buy and bread'.

Many thanks,
Best,
David
