Not sure but it should be Direct Address according to me..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sentence is not directly addressing the "detective" but interrupts the sentence and provides an appositive information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is appositive or an interruption??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@electrokid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the former

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is an appositive and u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

apposition means, that the information assists us to identify but might not be enough as in this case.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what I said, apposition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @electrokid
