What does that buy you? What advantage do you see in treating the
utterances produced by different speakers in a conversation as if they
were a single text?

I see the disadvantages (you lose the information that a text has a
speaker which is referred to as "mi" in the text and an audience which
is referred to as "do" in the text), but I still can't see the
advantages. What are the advantages of treating the whole conversation
as one text?
