Abstract: We prove that there is a natural grading-preserving isomorphism of $sl$-modules between the basic module of the affine Lie algebra $widehatsl$ (with the homogeneous grading) and a Schur--Weyl module of the infinite symmetric group $sinf$ with a grading defined through the combinatorial notion of the major index of a Young tableau, and study the properties of this isomorphism. The results reveal new and deep interrelations between the representation theory of $widehatsl$ and the Virasoro algebra on the one hand, and the representation theory of $sinf$ and the related combinatorics on the other hand.
