Again, I would refer you to the beginning of
Guattari's "The Place of the Signifier in the
Institution".  N.b. the remarks about archi-
ecriture being a "retrospective illusion" (or
somesuch -- again, I don't have it with me).

Oh, stuff like Guattari's amusing remark
about the neurosis which is differance (in
Chaosmosis).  Or Derrida's well-known 
criticisms of pragmatic linguistics (in
essays like "Signature Event Context").
