This work is concerned with how English relatives and their uses are distributed among five middle school English textbooks and the 2016 NAEA English test. As for the distribution of lexically-headed and free relatives, that of relative pronouns and adverbs, and the restrictive and nonrestrictive uses, Monte Carlo exact tests show that there is no significant difference between these six materials. As for the subtypes of lexically-headed relatives and the grammatical functions of relativized elements, however, the same tests show that there are significant differences between the materials. Post-hoc analysis suggests that the differences are due to the fact that the 2016 NAEA English test contains too many examples of bare relatives and object relatives, undesirable from the viewpoint of learnability.
