:I think it does.  Some would argue that it makes no sense to have a "BOM linguistics" page in the first place since there were no gold plates, no Nephites, no Lamanites, etc.  -p  But if there is to be a discussion of Book of Mormon linguistics, it seems reasonable (to me at least) that there should be some mention of the translation/dictation process by which the book was produced, since that process would have an obvious impact on the words used in the Book of Mormon.
