Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for disambiguating meaning of terms. A natural language processing system obtains a first corpora of words used in a first sense and a second corpora of the same words that are used in a second sense. Each of these corpora of words may be associated with different linguistic domains. The natural language processing system generates a first and a second set of patterns using both the first and second corpora of words, respectively. A question passage is then received by the natural language processing system. The natural language processing system examines a word of interest in the question passage. The user is then notified that the word of interest is being used in the first sense or the second sense in response to identifying the word of interest in only the first set of patterns or the second set of patterns, respectively.
