linguistic terminology question

Apologies for potentially mis-using this list.

What is the correct term for a pattern of related lexemes (of different 
syntactic roles, but same sematic root) e.g NN'building', VB'to build', 
JJ'built', JJ'building', .....Is it a 'sememe'? Entry in a thesaurus?

I think the pattern can be exploited in computational linguistic to 
complete a dictionary by generating all words of the pattern, 
indiscriminately of their actual existence in a language and then using 
a Darwinist rule to eliminate any non-existing words from it.

Again, apologies if this oversteps the group use, you can respond to my 
e-mail directly if you have an answer or a lead.

Thank you,

Tom
