蒋平、张志栋和秦欢华编著的《语言学流派与发展》是一本关于语言学流派与研究的著述。该书在深入了解和参考国内已出版的语言学流派著述的基础上，通过大量查阅国外语言学流派的著作、语言学历史书籍、语言学各个理论的介绍与专论和语言学百科全书、大英百科全书的基础上撰写而成。本书的撰写力求全面、客观而有系统地论述语言学的发展历史，内容上多处具有新颖之处，包括了国内较少提到的几家语言学研究派别和人物、主要思想、一些学派的后续研究及其发展与变化、某些学派之间的联系、以及语言学的最新发展动向及其思想理论基础。

本书除了可作为语言学研究的重要参考文献外，也适合作为英语专业学生语言学概论学习之后的语言学高级选修课教材、语言学专业研究生考试复习用书以及研究生开设现代语言学课程、理论语言学课程、语言学史或语言学流派课程的主要教材和必读文献。

平、张志栋和秦欢华编著的《语言学流派与发展》参考已出版的语言学流派著述、语言学专著、网络及电子资源和新版语言学百科全书，循语言学史对各个流派及其代表人物进行介述。不仅介绍了各学派的主要观点、后续研究及发展变化、一些学派之间的联系、其中还涉及了国内较少提到的几个语言学派别、以及语言学的最新发展动向及其思想理论基础等，在已有著述的基础上力求多维度创新。为了体现语言学最新的发展，它尽可能的扩大覆盖的范围并突出对各个流派的梳理，因此《语言学流派与发展》希望在语言学流派著述研究方面尝试更全、更新一点做出微薄的探索。
