That is not self-similarity. It may be better not to use that term in that 
context, I think.
I wondered because there are 2 different aspects of self-similarity in 
language, one in self-referencing (mostly to do with self-replicating strings 
like the "ana" sequence) and the other with symbolic long range correlations.

Cheers,

Gabriel
