In this paper we address the usefulness of the notion of a paradigm in the context of derivational morphology. We first define a notion of paradigmatic system that extends conservatively the notion as it is used in inflection so as to be applicable to collections of structured families of derivationally-related words. We then build on this definition in an empirical quantitative study of derivational families of verbs in French. We apply information-theoretic measures of predictability initially designed by Ackerman et al. (2009) in the context of inflection. We conclude that key quantitative properties are common to inflectional and derivational paradigmatic systems, and hence that (partial) paradigms are an important ingredient of the study of derivation.

派生形态的范式结构和可预测性

在本文中，我们探讨了派生形态学背景下范式概念的有用性。我们首先定义一种范式系统的概念，该概念在词法变化中使用时会保守地扩展该概念，以便适用于与衍生相关的单词的结构化族的集合。然后，我们在对法语动词派生类进行实证定量研究的基础上，以此定义为基础。我们应用了由Ackerman等人最初设计的可预测性的信息理论方法。（2009）在拐点的背景下。我们得出的结论是，关键的定量属性对于变形和导数范式系统是共有的，因此，（部分）范式是导数研究的重要组成部分。
