For the current realization of the quantum affine algebras, Drinfeld g
ave a simple comultiplication of the quantum current operators. With t
his comultiplication, we study the related vertex operators for the ca
se of U-q((s) over cap I-n) and give an explicit bosonization of these
new vertex operators. We use these vertex operators to construct the
quantum current operators of U-q((s) over cap I-n) and discuss its con
nection with quantum boson-fermion correspondence.
