this time是名词作定语吗

The difference this time is the vehemence with which young Burmese refuse to revert to the tyranny and poverty their parents knew.

是的。this time 貌似名词，其实是一个“时间副词” 作 difference 的定语，暗示修饰一个省略了的动词。本句可以理解为：

The difference arising this time is ...

时间副词作后置定语也是常态。又如：

Young people today face a very difficult future at work.

如今的年轻人面临着充满困难的工作前景。

this time应该分析为状语，只不过状语放在了主语和谓语动词之间而已（中位状语）。

应该是状语。你也可以把this time 放在句首。
