Combinant la méthodologie de la linguistique historique avec une savante maîtrise des sources, il a exploré divers aspects morphologiques et lexicaux de la langue hittite ; il a apporté une contribution fondamentale à la compréhension de la langue louvite ; disposant de nouveaux documents lyciens, il a aussi clarifié le rapport entre le louvite et le lycien. Il a su donner une nouvelle impulsion aux études sur les cultures hatti et hourrite (qui s’exprimaient dans des langues non indo-européennes).
Nombreux sont les outils de travail, encore indispensables aujourd’hui, que l’on doit à Laroche : Catalogue des textes hittites, Les noms des Hittites, Les hiéroglyphes hittites, Glossaire de la langue hourrite.
Ses essais sur les religions anatoliennes (un domaine où il a ouvert de nouvelles voies) conservent toute leur valeur, ce qui est également le cas pour ses essais linguistiques.
Mais les études de Laroche s’imposent aussi d’un point de vue méthodologique et elles peuvent inspirer aussi les savants d’aujourd’hui.

Some of the scholars who attended to the international conference Sacred Landscapes of Hittites and Luwians held in Florence in February 2014, present here contributions on the religious, symbolic and social landscapes of Anatolia between the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age. Archaeologists, hittitologists and historians highlight how the ancient populations perceived many elements of the environment, like mountains, rivers and rocks, but also atmospheric agents, and natural phenomena as essential part of their religious and ideological world. Analysing landscapes, architectures and topographies built by the Anatolian communities in the second and first millennia BC, the framework of a symbolic construction intended for specific actions and practices clearly emerges.

The two Late Bronze Age monumental buildings uncovered on the lower terrace and on the southern slope of the mound were in all likelihood official structures, where the performance of activities related to the cultic sphere might have played a significant role. Archaeological evidence, together with an analysis of the Hittite epigraphic sources, can shed light on the historical, social, and cultural environment of the city. Texts relating to the city of Zippalanda give us some hints about the issues of production, function, and use of pottery vessels employed in rituals and festivals. In the Hittite ceramic production, a neat functional distinction between cultic and common vessels is usually unlikely, but a general use in activities related to cultic practises may be hypothesised for different Uşaklı's typologies.

Beyond that, in the Late Hittite period all the local Storm Gods were openly adopted by the main couple of the pantheon, the Sun Goddess of Arinna and the Storm God of Ḫatti, as clearly represented in the prayer of Puduḫepa to the Sun Goddess of Arinna. Possible ties and relations among these female deities and the Storm God of Zippalanda, and the ways of their cults in the cities of Ankuwa and Zippalanda are analyzed here.
