Hi there,

Why not take a look at our definition of Grammar - http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/grammar.html

Linguistics:

(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)
linguistics noun [U] (ALSO linguistic science)
the systematic study of the structure and development of language in general or of particular languages

Hope that helps.

I'd say that grammar is a part of linguistics, which is the umbrella term for the study of language.
