I've put it on line in PDF format: Kay, Martin (1989), "The Concrete Lexicon and the Abstract Dictionary", Proceedings of the 5th Conference on Dictionaries in the Electronic Age (St. Catherine's College, Oxford) (Waterloo, Canada: University of Waterloo Centre for the New Oxford English Dictionary): 35-41. http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/CVA/kay89.pdf ~
