In this text, I present the contribution of theoretical aspects in the works of Pierre Bourdieu (1990; 1991; 1998) and Basil Bernstein (1990; 1996) to some constructs of Critical Discourse Analysis, as exposed by Norman Fairclough and Lilie Chouliaraki in Discourse in late modernity (1999, see Chapter 6). These theoretical aspects are the concepts of “field” (champ/field), in Bourdieu and Bernstein, “habitus”, in Bourdieu, and “voice”, “framing”, “message” and
“recontextualization”, in Bernstein, which are compared and articulated with the concepts of “discourse order”, “genre” and “intertextuality”, originating from the field of Discourse Analysis and theorized in the field of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The strongest argument is that the internalization of these concepts from the field of sociology adds theoretical support to the dialectical view between agency and structure, central to the path taken by CDA to the present, as Norman
Fairclough has expressed this in different publications.
