But Crystal has a few words to say about alternative terms for linguistics (or some sub- or super-field thereof) which involve the word "science": language science(s), linguistic science, speech science, phonetic science

"Anything with 'science' in its name isn't a science." See https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/06/26/not-science/
Think of Christian Science, social science, political science, etc.
