[Uri Hurwitz <uhurwitz AT yahoo.com>]

   Those who are interested in diachronic devcelopment of BH style may wish 
to consult the works of Avi Hurvitz (no rellation), and - on the other side 
of the argument - the position of Ian Young.
   
    My view, very briefly, is that there are defenitely diachronic markers in 
the language ranging from ancient poetry, through SBH to Late Biblical Hebrew 
such as Qohelet.
   
   Since late editors did a thorough job with most of the preserved MT texts, 
too much refinement is impossible.
