Abstract

The study analyzed about syntax analysis in relative clause found in the novel “The Lord of the Ring”. “The Lord of the Ring” is stated as a literary work of drama written by J.R.R Tolkien. The theory used in this study is the theory of relative clauses proposed by Quirk (1985), Sneddon (1996) and supported by other theories. The theory used to analyze the syntax structure in relative clauses found in the novel “The Lord of the Ring”was the theory proposed by Brown and Miller. The method used to get the data of relative clauses found in the novel “The Lord of the Ring”was qualitative library research. This research study aims to: (i) analyze the syntax structure in the relative clause found in the novel entitled “The Lord of the Ring”, (ii) analyze the types of relative clauses in the relative clauses found in the novel entitled “The Lord of the Ring”. In conclusion, the use of relative clauses in The Lord of the Rings serves not only a grammatical function but also plays a crucial role in world-building and character development. The study highlights the significance of syntactic choices in literary works, demonstrating how Tolkien’s use of relative clauses enhances textual cohesion and reader engagement. After conducting a syntactic analysis of relative clauses found in The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, it can be concluded that the novel presents a wide variety of relative clause structures that reflect both formal and stylistic richness
