Linguists have tended to be somewhat insistent on the need for autonomy, because they have felt that, in the past, the study of language was usually subservient to and distorted by the standards of other studies such as logic, philosophy and literary criticism. The principle of ``autonomy`` as it has been applied in linguistics over the last fifty years, has led to a more general conception of the nature and function of language than was possible in the earlier periods of linguistic scholarship. (J. Lyons, 1970, New Horizons in Linguistics, England) Now that linguistics has become a mature academic discipline with its own methology there is no longer the same need to insist upon the principle of ``autonomy``. That linguisticsis now less insistent on the principle of autonomy is not the tendency that linguistics only has: it is part of a marked trend in such behavioural sciences as linguistics. The barriers between different disciplines are now rapidly weakening, and multidisciplinary approches to particular problems are increasingly being undertaken. As a direct result of this trend towards multidisciplinary synthesis there has been a growth of interest in the exploration of topics in the borderlands between the territories of the older disciplines. The complementary notions -autonomy and integration have to be intimately linked. In other words, we have to pay equal attention to the specifics in the structure and in the development of any given province of knowledge, and furthermore to their common foundations and developmental lines as well as to their mutual dependence. Shortly after the Hague Congress Edward Sapir argued that linguists, whether they like or not, must become increasingly concerned with the many anthropological, sociological, and psyeological problems which invade the field of language, because it is difficult far a modern linguist to confine himself to his tradilional subject matter. Unless he is somewhat un imaginative, he cannot but share in some or all of the mutual interest, which link linguistics with anthorpology and the history of culture, with sociology, with psychology, with philosophy, and more remotely, with physics and phyiology`` (H. Sapir, ``The Status of Linguistics as a Science,`` Language 5, 1924, p. 166) At present, we are faced with an urgent need for an interdisciplinary teamwork to be pursued diligently by savants of different branches. Linguists has to examine intensively the relationship between linguistics and the adjacent sciences.
