We present a direct measurement of trilinear gauge boson couplings at {gamma}WW and ZWW vertices in WW and WZ events produced in pp collisions at {radical}(s)=1.96 TeV. We consider events with one electron or muon, missing transverse energy, and at least two jets. The data were collected using the D0 detector and correspond to 1.1 fb{sup -1} of integrated luminosity. Considering two different relations between the couplings at the {gamma}WW and ZWW vertices, we measure these couplings at 68% C.L. to be {kappa}{sub {gamma}}=1.07{sub -0.29}{sup +0.26}, {lambda}=0.00{sub -0.06}{sup +0.06}, and g{sub 1}{sup Z}=1.04{sub -0.09}{sup +0.09} in a scenario respecting SU(2){sub L} x U(1){sub Y} gauge symmetry and {kappa}=1.04{sub -0.11}{sup +0.11} and {lambda}=0.00{sub -0.06}{sup +0.06} in an 'equal couplings' scenario.
