Paradigm is a notion closely related to morphology, and more particularly to inflection. However, the paradigmatic approach is gaining in popularity in derivational morphology even if many consider paradigms to be unfit for derivation because of the gaps and mismatches that occur with derivational processes. This results in a lack of consensus on the relevance of derivational paradigms and in a lack of a clear definition of this notion. Therefore, derivational paradigms remain mostly unknown objects that should be studied in greater depth. This is the very goal of the special issue introduced by this paper, namely to define paradigms for derivation, illustrate them with various examples from different languages, and evaluate them in order to assess their psycholinguistic relevance. In this way, the papers in the issue show that paradigms are as operational, valid and useful tools in derivation as they are in inflection. Moreover, a better characterization of this notion will provide new insights into the organization of lexical morphology and new perspectives on the differences and similarities between inflection and derivation.

构词范例：我们要做什么？

范式是与形态特别是与形态密切相关的概念。但是，即使由于衍生过程中出现的差距和不匹配，许多人认为范式不适合进行衍生，范式方法在衍生形态学中也越来越流行。这导致在派生范式的相关性上缺乏共识，并且缺乏对该概念的明确定义。因此，派生范式仍然是大多数未知的对象，应进行更深入的研究。这就是本文引入的特刊的目的，即定义派生范式，用来自不同语言的各种示例对其进行说明，并对其进行评估，以评估其与语言学的相关性。这样，该期的论文表明，范式在进行推导时与推导一样是可操作的，有效的和有用的工具。此外，对该概念的更好刻画将提供对词法形态组织的新见解，并提供关于变形和推导之间的异同的新观点。
