In various unrelated languages one finds that sentences in which there is a possessor (John's book) have counterparts where the possessor is expressed not as a dependent of the possessed nominal but as part of the clause proper. In relational grammar (RG) such pairs of sentences are related by positing a rule of possessor ascension by which the possessor ascends from its host, the possessed nominal. In this paper two constructions that seem to be candidates for a possessor ascension analysis are discussed, and one is shown to involve possessor ascension and the other advancement of indirect object to direct object. The data are drawn from two Queensland languages, Kalkatungu and Pitta-Pitta.
