Linguistic dating of biblical Hebrew?

BIBLE HISTORY DAILY: Linguistic Hints to the Age of the Hebrew Bible Can language analysis determine the initial date of the ancient Hebrew manuscripts? (Jonathan Laden ). This essay introduces an article in the current issue of Biblical Archaeology Review by Ron Hendel and Jan Joosten. The article itself is behind the subscription wall, but the essay gives you a taste of it.

For their book on the same subject, see here. And follow the links from there for other relevant posts. And I have some comments on the issue here.
