In the article, the concept of destruction, introduced by the post-structuralist Jacque Derrida, is analyzed. The ways of its application to the notion of the variety of text's meanings are considered. Based on Jacque Derrida's ideas that any system of meanings can be considered as a text, the ideas of deconstruction are applied and interpreted in the context of the educational institution activity. The methods of application of the primary deconstruction as a way of reading and perceiving the meaning of the text are analyzed. They are interpreted in the educational context. Intertwining of the varieties of meanings in the educational activity is discussed. Thus, there is demonstrated the influence of these methods on language expressiveness in the intertwined varieties of meanings which can be considered as a dialogue. In the process of this dialogue, the reality is constructed employing various ways of language expressiveness.
