We show that O(2,2) transformation of SU(2) WZNW model gives rise to marginal deformation of this model by the operator $\int d^2 z J(z)\bar J(\bar z)$ where $J$, $\bar J$ are U(1) currents in the Cartan subalgebra. Generalization of this result to other WZNW theories is discussed. We also consider O(3,3) transformation of the product of an SU(2) WZNW model and a gauged SU(2) WZNW model. The three parameter set of models obtained after the transformation is shown to be the result of first deforming the product of two SU(2) WZNW theories by marginal operators of the form $\sum_{i,j=1}^2 C_{ij} J_i \bar J_j$, and then gauging an appropriate U(1) subgroup of the theory. Our analysis leads to a general conjecture that O(d,d) transformation of any WZNW model corresponds to marginal deformation of the WZNW theory by combination of appropriate left and right moving currents belonging to the Cartan subalgebra; and O(d,d) transformation of a gauged WZNW model can be identified to the gauged version of such marginally deformed WZNW models.
