hi liz,
can i ask what your particular interest is in deuteronomy? just curious.
what i appear to have at this point is the following: the bulk of kings is
linguistically similar to amos/isaiah ca.700; whereas, the bulk/core of
deuteronomy is similar to ezekiel/jeremiah ca.600.
but there is material in deuteronomy that is late: e.g., chs. 31-32. also
much of samuel, especially surrounding saul-to-david, especially 2 Samuel,
is tentatively strata IV-V: e.g., using the first person sequential, parts
of 2 Samuel stick out like a sore thumb. ;-)
what i'm currently working on is the distribution of nunated nonpasts that
characterizes deuteronomy.
cheers
