                                       ABSTRACT 
                Previous research has considered the Old English relative 
           clause from many different perspectives and has used many 
           different Old English sources.  This dissertation adds to the 
           investigation of the relative clause by taking the text of the 
           Anglo-Saxon Gospels, identifying the relative clauses within the 
           corpus, and analyzing the placement of the verb within each 
           clause.  In addition, the Latin source is included for the 
           purpose of proving that the OE translation is a valid source for 
           syntactic study.
