This paper reflects on two complex disciplines of Linguistics to identify its limits and concurrences. On the one hand, the so-called Linguistics of Text and Discourse has produced wide-ranging reflections on linguistic practices based on the production and reception theory of texts and discourses. On the other hand, Applied Linguistics has investigated social issues related to the different forms of linguistic use. In both fields, the object of analysis is the language in use. This paper intends to outline possible boundaries as well as simultaneity between these two disciplines. The purpose is to show how linguistic researches situated in border epistemologies can rely on both trends, benefiting from their approaches while also contributing to a reciprocal advance. For this purpose, this study is based mainly on the reflections of Coutinho (2019), Miranda (2010), Maingueneau (2005), Koch (2004), Bentes (2001), Moita Lopes (2009), Fabrício (2006), Celani (2004) e Rajagopalan (2003, 2018).
