A friend had a book entitled "What is the Name of This Book"; among other
kinds of word games/puzzles/curiosities there was a chapter on what the
author called "quines" (I think) - sentences which contain themselves.
Example: ""Is the Name of This Book" is the name of this book"
(meaning this book is entitled "Is the ...")
I don't think this is exactly what you were asking about but it's as good
as any other suggestion I've seen here yet.
