Abstract
We construct a realization of the quantum affine algebra
of an arbitrary level k in terms of free boson fields. In the q→1 limit this realization becomes the Wakimoto realization of
. The screening currents and the vertex operators (primary fields) are also constructed; the former commutes with
modulo total difference, and the latter creates the
highest weight state from the vacuum state of the boson Fock space.
