Summary/Abstract: This article represents a study about the manifestations of significance within the liminal media discourse. It aims to show that the significance evolves during its transfer within the orbit of paratext towards a higher level of understanding, where the logic of the text surpasses its limits and reaches the territory of semiotics. We introduce the term of paratextosphere in order to ex-plain the area of connections between text and paratext within the liminal media discourse that creates different kinds of rituals and significations, changing recurrently the interpretation according to the spots of interest established during the TV programmes.
