Interesting question. The only source on the web I find for "demonstrative nouns" uses the term for nouns that can be preceded by a demonstrative adjective. See http://sswl.railsplayground.net/browse/properties/453. In this sense, Spanish certainly allows demonstrative nouns - almost any common noun can be preceded by este (-a, -os, -as), or ese (-a, -os, -as), or aquel (-las, -los, -las).

Esta pregunta me parece muy interesante.

I have never heard of a demonstrative noun, just a demonstrative prounoun or adjective. - 0095ca4c, Jan 27, 2013

Sí. Much more common, and possibly what he meant - but I´m pretty literal, and was curious myself. - rickharned, Jan 27, 2013
