We present a phenomenological ansatz for coupling a heavy quark with two
light quarks to form a heavy baryon. The heavy quark is treated in the heavy
mass limit, and the light quark dynamics is approximated by propagating scalar
and axial vector 'diquarks'. The resulting effective lagrangian, which
incorporates heavy quark and chiral symmetry, describes interactions of heavy
baryons with Goldstone bosons in the low energy region. As an application, the
Isgur--Wise form factors are estimated.Comment: 9 pages + 8 figures, both as uuencoded PS, discussion of Bjorken
