This article explores the notion of derivational paradigm. Although several studies have proposed a paradigmatic approach to derivational morphology, we do not know yet what derivational paradigms look like. A key feature of paradigms in inflection is the mutual predictability of the paradigm cells in terms of the content that they express, but we don’t know yet how predictability works in the derivational lexicon. In order to explore predictability in derivation, we propose to use scenarios (i.e. prototypical representations of real-world situations). The idea is to build scenarios using short stories produced by Large Language Models (LLMs). We create stories containing pairs of lexemes belonging to the same word family; the regular content of the stories and the participants that frequently co-occur in them determine the prototypical participants of the scenarios. The participants of the same scenario can be considered as semantically interpredictable and may be realized by lexemes belonging to the same derivational paradigm.
