1. IP (Inflectional Phrase) branches into [NP] + [VP]:
NP[John] + VP[heard the claim which Bill made]
2. VP (Verb Phrase) branches into V + [NP + CP]:
V[heard] + NP[[the claim] + CP[which Bill made]]
3. CP (Complement Phrase) branches into C + [IP]:
C[which] + IP[Bill made]
4. IP branches into [NP] + [VP]:
NP[Bill] + VP[made]
