The ‘Laryngeal Theory’ is a powerful tool which is in constant use in the field of Indo-European studies. The theory, however, appears in many forms which occasionally may be mutually conflicting. Students of our discipline may therefore have diffi­ culties in finding their way through this diversity. It is my hope that the present edition can be of some help in this respect. The presentation will necessarily be dominated by my per­ sonal views on the ‘Laryngeal Theory’, but I have tried to consider diverging views and hypotheses with an objective and critical mind. Some suggestions which I have found of little value, have been left out of my discussion. The word ‘laryngeal’ always appears between inverted commas when referring to the Indo-European ‘laryngeals’ whose phonetic nature is yet unknown. A special word of thanks to my colleague and friend Harald Bjorvand, who has gone through much of the new text and given me valuable pedagogical advice. Above all I am indebted to Professor Erich Neu (Ruhr-Universität-Bochum) for his en­ couragement and valuable assistance with the Anatolian m a­ terial. My manuscript was completed in March 1987.
