linguistics is part of psychology;

inguistics is the study of language, and psychology the study of the acquisition or utilization of language.

linguistics understood as the study of the system of language seems to fill a conceptual gap in the manner in which psychology is often conceived.

Language is normally a left-hemisphere function primarily, and current work aims to clarify the specific functions of the two hemispheres.

The notion of language itself is on a very high level of abstraction.

I’m thinking particularly of Labov’s1 work on non-standard English of the ghettos. In my opinion, that is also linguistics.
