Inverting Lévi-Strauss’s favoured terms, Derrida and his allies celebrated diachrony over synchrony, events over structure, the exception over the rule, the periphery over the centre, the variable over the invariant.
I hope to have cleared a few things up.

"celebrated diachrony"?
Beg pardon? I had a dose of that diachrony last year, and fucking unpleasant it was too. What does the missus have to say? She's a doctor, she should know.
She reminds me that good hygiene is the best prevention for diachrony.
Glad to know you've recovered. That can be nasty...
"She reminds me that good hygiene is the best prevention for diachrony."
I've never been so insulted in all my life!
