Perhaps? The examples given seem much more limited to the qualities of the word itself, I'm not sure the lisp example would fit under that banner.

That page does link to 'Ostensive definition' though:

"An ostensive definition conveys the meaning of a term by pointing out examples"

So perhaps 'Auto-ostensive'?
