System and method for generating graphic queries which intuitively represent Boolean and evaluation expressions where the graphic language includes "vocabulary", "grammar", "structure", and "meaning". Graphic "sentences" construct queries to databases that denote specific Boolean relationships and evaluation expressions. Items enclosed within graphic objects result in "sentences" based on the shape and/or juxtaposition of the graphic objects, format of the line segments and point size of the graphic objects. The graphic Boolean objects are used to enclose words, values, fields, or other objects thereby generating query syntax. Dictionaries representing the meaning of the graphic syntax can be swapped to produce different syntactical representations.
