Mechanisms are provided for implementing a natural language content (NLC) disambiguation engine. The NLC disambiguation engine operates to identify, in a corpus of natural language content, a portion of natural language content (NLC) that is determined to be ambiguous with regard to the context of the portion of NLC. The NLC disambiguation engine compares the ambiguous content portion to private content information associated with a source of the ambiguous content portion. The NLC disambiguation engine identifies a domain of the ambiguous content portion based on a domain of a matching portion of the private content information. The NLC disambiguation engine performs a clarifying operation that clarifies the ambiguous content portion based on the identified domain of the matching portion of the private content information to thereby generate a clarified content portion for processing by a cognitive operation of a cognitive system.
