¿Puedes explicarlo mejor? No veo bien la diferencia.

@Irma: creo que lo que quiere decir pjt es que cuando usas "which" es que ya conoces las alternativas ("¿cuál de ellas?"), pero para preguntar cuáles son las alternativas posibles, hay que usar "what".

What and which have slightly different functions in English than they have
in Spanish.

In Spanish we say ¿Cual es el significado?
En inglés el significado es What is the meaning?

In English what is more frequently used.
Which often is used when choosing or comparing two things.

Se me ocurre...
La alocución del Rey.
El habla del Rey.

Pero se siguen quedando "cojas".

Quizá usando comillas con "parlamento" podríamos acercarnos a la ironía del doble sentido.

El "parlamento" del Rey.

O se podría jugar con:
El di-di-discurso del Re-rey.

Lo importante en la traducción no son las palabras, sino los conceptos.
En mi-mi... hu-hu-humilde o-o-oooo pinión.

La pe-pe-perorata de-del Rey.

Como sugestiones... digo, sugerencias.

The double meaning is El Dicurso del Rey and El Rey y su Dicción. En el inglés "Speech" refiere a un discurso y tambien ala dicción de una persona.
