The detached phrase (独立语 dúlìyǔ) is structurally not related to any other part of the sentence in which it appears. It is often used to express a subjective point of view or attitude, to make a speculation, assessment, explanation, or illustration, or to call attention to something. The detached phrases may be palced at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. For example:
