Linguistics 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.
Comparative linguistics is the study of similarities and differences between languages to reconstruct their common ancestors and trace their historical development. It aims to determine relationships between languages through the comparison of vocabulary, grammar, and sound systems.
Traditional grammar teaches a language while linguistics explains the nature of a language. Linguistics is a study of a language while traditional grammar is the teaching of a language.
Linguistics is the scientific study of language and how it works, focusing on the structure, function, and diversity of languages. Traditional grammar, on the other hand, is more prescriptive and rule-based, often focusing on usage norms and correctness. While linguistics seeks to describe and explain language phenomena objectively, traditional grammar tends to provide rules and guidelines for "correct" language use. Linguistics is concerned with understanding language as a natural human phenomenon, while traditional grammar is often focused on normative standards.
The study of grammar and syntax is called linguistics. Linguistics focuses on the structure of language, including grammar, syntax, phonetics, and semantics.
There are generally three main branches of linguistics: theoretical linguistics, applied linguistics, and socio-linguistics. Each branch focuses on different aspects of language, including grammar, language acquisition, language use in society, and the relationship between language and culture.
Comparative linguistics is a branch of linguistics that compares different languages to identify similarities and differences in their structures, grammar, vocabulary, and historical development. It aims to reconstruct the history and relationships between languages and language families. This comparative approach helps linguists understand how languages evolve and are connected over time.
If that is the course title, you do capitalize it.

firstly, modern liguistic is DESCRIPTIVE(to describe the way people speak) , whilst traditional grammar is PRESCRIPTIVE(to prescribe the way people speak, or simply, to tell people how to speak and let people know the correct way of their speaking )secondly, tradition grammar pays more attention to the written form of language, while linguistics attaches more importance to speaking than writing.thirdly, tradtional grammar has been restricted mainly to SYNTAX, that is, the way of words making patterns to form sentences, while linguistics has a boarder scope for researching, eg. pragmatics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, ect. which, accordingly, are out of the scope of traditional grammar.of course, there are other differences between the old and new appoaches to language research, such as Diachronic vs Synchronic and so....
Universal grammar is a topic that has been researched in linguistics since the mid-20th century. The basic, fundamental structure of all human languages is very similar, in spite of the obvious differences in vocabulary and sound. This basic structure is called Universal Grammar. The innateness hypothesis is the idea that this Universal Grammar is present in all healthy human minds as a result of biological inheritance (in other words, grammar is innate).
