Abstract
The debate about whether linguistics is a science or arts has lasted for quite long time. We argue that the interdisciplinary nature of linguistics is an appropriate answer based on the exploration of the study scopes of major branches in linguistics, such as computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, second language acquisition, social linguistics etc. Besides, the analysis of research methods used by major linguists also proof our argument. In the end, we conclude that the interdisciplinary nature of linguistics is more suitable.
