A covariant, composite scalar diquark, Fadde'ev amplitude model for the nucleon is used to calculate pseudoscalar, isoscalar- and isovector-vector, axial-vector and scalar nucleon form factors. The last yields the nucleon \ensuremathσ term and on-shell \ensuremathσ-nucleon coupling. The calculated form factors are soft, and the couplings are generally in good agreement with experiment and other determinations. Elements in the dressed-quark-axial-vector vertex that are not constrained by the Ward-Takahashi identity contribute \ensuremath∼20% to the magnitude of gA. The calculation of the nucleon \ensuremathσ term elucidates the only unambiguous means of extrapolating meson-nucleon couplings off the meson mass shell.
