I was thinking about this a few months ago. However, I kind of understood that it is considered a scientific study because it uses scientific methods to understand the underlying meaning and interpretation of the language we use every day. Also, linguists can use scientific methods to understand the relationship between spoken and written text or the relationship between online conversation and in-person conversation. These are things that they observe, can make a hypothesis about the relationship, test, or research by finding the variables, and then discuss their results.
