Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the limits and possibilities of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of linguistic behavior which has several horizons: extralinguistic, paralinguistic, linguistic and metalinguistic. Since the language behavior as a whole cannot be successfully studied by the partial approaches of individual scientific disciplines, the author suggests a trans disciplinary approach to the study of communication. It would be based on the construction of systematic models.
