Close examination of particle constructions in English and Object Shift constructions in Icelandic reveals that they are similar in both syntactic and semantic behavior. In this paper, it is claimed that these intriguing similarities are captured in a uniform manner if Chomsky's (2001a) proposal on Icelandic Object Shift is restated. Specifically, it is demonstrated that the pre-particle object in English and the shifted object in Icelandic are both derived by Object Shift, observing Holmberg's well-known generalization. However, the functional heads driving Object Shift in the constructions under consideration differ in nature. It is also shown that this difference is attributed to the difference in φ-defectiveness.
