Yes you can. Not all flooring is or needs to be glued down. I have a floating laminate wood flooring (no glue). It can be your choice which way you want to go.
It may but the flooring folksI hired put down 4 x 4 foot sheets of plywood before gluing the new laminate. I believe the adhesive bonds better to the clean plywood surface than particle board.
Foxrun41 is correct. It used to be that laminate floors were glued down with a latex glue called Mighty White. Particle board used to soak up the glue making the laminate floor only stick to various areas. The glue has changed, but I doubt the premise hasn't.
