When sem means 'as' or 'like', as in sem barn 'as a child', treat sem as a preposition.

( (IP-MAT (IP-MAT-1 (BEDI var-vera)
		    (NP-SBJ (PRO-N hún-hún))
		    (ADVP (ADV því-því))
		    (HAN höfð-hafa)
		    (PP (P á-á)
			(NP (N-D baðstofugólfi-baðstofugólf))))
	  (CONJP (CONJ og-og)
		 (IP-MAT=1 (VAN gefin-gefa)
			   (NP-OB1 (N-A mjólk-mjólk))
			   (PP (P sem-sem)
			       (NP (N-D barni-barn)
				   (PP (P með-með)
				       (NP (N-D pípu-pípa)))))))
	  (. ,-,)))

This is like Penn corpora http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~beatrice/annotation/words.htm#as_prep:

(NODE (NP-PRN (ADVP (ADVR as) (ADV wel)
                    (PP *ICH*-3))
              (NS men)
              (PP-3 (P as)
                    (NP (N wymmen))))
      (ID CMAELR3,27.40))
