Deconstruction isn't really a concept or a method that can be applied to texts as such (and a lot of things in Derrida are confusing like this!) -- it's something that is evident within the structures of the text itself. Essentially it's where the reader looks for the Other in a text. Like in Plato's works, he derides writing/written words/literature as being secondary and an image of an image, but Derrida would say that Plato's work deconstructs itself in that it is a written work, and that it has needed writing to survive and be disseminated. In this instance the Other (what the writer or philosopher or social/cultural attitude tries to reject or denigrate) is writing itself, and it's finding this Other in the text despite what the writer/philosopher/society/culture is trying to do (reject it, put it in second place) is deconstruction.
To my understanding, and basically, anyways! Hope that helps :)

What is the difference between the signifier and the signified according to Ferdinand de Saussure?
derrida advocates a third element in signification-- there is the signified, the signifier and the interpretant. In other words, there is no meaning without the interpreter, who reads the signified in the signifier and decides what exactly is being communicated. Furthermore, Derrida, as a deconstructionist, privileges polysemy-- there are many signifieds within one signifier, and these cannot be separated without an inherent violence unto the text. Whereas Saussure finds the link between signified and signifier as arbitrary, Derrida finds it to be too complicated to map onto such a simplistic structure. For example, the Greek word Pharmakon may mean either poison or medicine. It is the interpreter's job (or rather the translator's job) to interpret the word poison or medicine, thereby translating both the Greek word Pharmakon to the English word, and the Greek word poison to the Greek word medicine. It is an interior translation that takes place within the word itself, pharmakon-poison to pharmakon-medicine. This is quite difficult to explain in less than an essay, so you should really read Derrida himself instead of looking for some online study guide.
