The affine nontwisted Kac--Moody algebra B/sup (1)//sub l/ is constructed in terms of an underlying not associative algebra obtained by tensoring an associative algebra of vertex operators with a given Lie-admissible algebra. The former has its origin in bosonic string theory and the latter is found to be essentially an algebra of contractions used in canonical field theory.
