ABSTRACT

In the emerging “是时候VP” sentence, “是时候” has a tendency of adverbialization, which can be classified as a moral modality in terms of the situation it reflects. “是VP的时候”is based on the enhancement of subjectivity, which is formed by context absorption and pre-emption. “是时候” is reanalyzed as an adverb in “是时候VP”, a non-standard structure at the beginning, which also reflects the self-adjustment of the language system.
