Grammar is a field of study in linguistics that deals with the structure of any given language called syntax such as structural grammar,transformational grammar.
Linguistics on the other hand is the scientific study of languages. It incorporates grammar,semantics,phonetics,stylistics and other disciplines to include Social Sciences eg: in different dialects, socio-economic classes, child language development etc. in order to understand the origins of a particular language and it's place within other language groups.

∙ 11y agoLinguistics is the scientific study of languages , whereas traditional grammar is a set of structural rules in a particular language.
Traditional grammar is limited to the right arrangements of the parts of speech in the native language but linguistics studies how the rules were formulated to include various disciplines of study in the social, historical, cognitive, phonetic, and stylistics context. Traditional grammar focused on the patterns and structures of grammar in Latin, and then applied those concepts to other languages whether or not such languages worked in the same way as Latin did.

∙ 11y agoGrammar is a set of systematic rules that a group of people follow or adopt in their written or spoken language. Traditional grammar is often used to refer to the standardised forms language usage e.g. an adjective must appear before a noun or after the derivations of the verb "to be". It is, therefore, prescriptive - the rules that we must follow.
Linguistic grammar examines the different types of grammar that people use in different settings e.g. social, class, regional etc. It also looks at the formality of a language e.g. "could of" and "could have" in English language. Linguistic grammar is descriptive and "nonjudgmental". It describes how different grammars are used in different settings by different groups of people.
