The paper first presents an overview of relevant theories, different understandings and subtypes of interdisciplinarity, casting doubt on the presumed self-evidence and generalised use of the term. An attempt to define linguistics, its field of research, and connections with other disciplines shows the complexity of interpreting interdisciplinarity in linguistics. The presented theoretical tools are finally applied to the research of journalistic discourse and illustrated by research conducted in this field at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Ljubljana.
