Chauvinism? Do not exaggerate. But I have written "these" souces and not
"those" sources, thinking of "serious" sources printed in Poland in Polish
and not translated into English, whose authors reject the idea of early
progressive palatalization. "Serious" means academic books, articles etc.

I do not deny that Carlton is a serious scholar but his views are
incompatible with what is published in Polish (and, I believe, on other
Slavic languages). And it seems that some of his views are based on
disputable works.

Of course I could say that basing oneself only on English resources is
chauvinistic as well... or rather very unilateral.
