A method for named entity resolution includes parsing an input text string to identify a context in which an identified named entity of the input text string is used. The identified context is compared with at least one stored context in which the named entity in the stored context is associated with a class of named entity, the named entity class being selected from a plurality of classes, at least one of the plurality of classes corresponding to a metonymic use of a respective named entity. A named entity class is assigned to the identified named entity from the plurality of named entity classes, based on at least one of the identified context and the comparison.
