In basic terms, linguistics becomes the study and scientific analysis of natural languages. However, this basic definition is quite lacking since linguistics incorporates a number of different things all of which may be connected to different disciples. Of course, the idea of studying the syntax of a language, the grammar, morphology as well the structure remain under the umbrella of linguistics but there are other aspects to the topic such as the applications of language as well as the modern developments coming to the study of language that require some level of Interdisciplinary awareness (Ardener, 2004). It can be shown that interdisciplinary awareness can be quite important for those who wish to study and work in the field of linguistics.

Historically speaking, linguistics has been dominated by the idea of studying the structure and function of language itself but in recent times, advancements made in other fields have brought linguistics closer to other realms of science. For example, the research conducted by Chomsky and others who followed his ideas has brought linguistics into the field of biology and human development. The process by which children acquire language and even the biological patterns that the brain develops with regard to language information may be studied under either linguistics or biology (Ardener, 2004).

Evolutionary studies as well as anthropological studies also focus on the development of language as it has evolved through time. Words, phonemes and phones that were used centuries ago may not be in use within the same language as words from other languages are mixed or the use of certain terms is deprecated with time. The very origins of language itself is also a field which comes under both evolutionary studies as well as linguistics and that is a field which deserves further exploration as it can yield a lot of information about how language evolved along with human biology (Shuy, 1984).
