Abstract: The aim of this text is to present an investigation about the relative clauses in Portuguese Language, analyzing the types of constructions, the relative pronouns found and respective syntactic function, besides the relativization strategies. This analysis establishes as material to study the produced texts on the 17th and 18th centuries, comprising three periods – 1650 to 1656, 1700 to 1710 and 1744 to 1750. Among the established criteria to the material of the analysis selection, are official documents and author diversity to cover more different written production from the same period. This research takes as a starting point some studies realized about the relative clauses in the history of Portuguese Language, such as Tarallo (1985, 1996), Brito (1988), Lucchesi (1990), Ribeiro (2009) e Mattos e Silva (2015). The data show the occurrence of relative pronouns in all syntactic functions (and its predominance), including preposition movement, with little difference among the periods. Concerning the relativization strategies, it’s striking to point out that two constructions similar to those defined by Tarallo (1985, 1996) and that characterize Brazilian Portuguese were found: one chopping and one copying relatives.
