The TREACLE project has been set up to develop a methodology for producing grammatical profiles which detail the degree to which learners at each proficiency level have mastered the various grammatical features they need to know. The corpus-based methodology takes a two-pronged approach, using automatic grammatical analysis, to see what the students are getting correct at each level, and manual Error Analysis to see what the learners do wrong. This paper describes this methodology, providing details on the derivation and use of the automatic grammatical analysis, and on the error annotation process. Some notions of profiling will also be discussed.

We will first outline the history of CL to provide some background to the subsequent discussion as to why CL has not made much use of SFL. We will then discuss why SFL has not made much use of CL. In the final section, we will discuss ways in which SFL and CL are currently beginning to profit from each other, and ways in which the tools and methodology of corpus linguistics still need to be developed in order to fully support the needs of a sociological oriented theory such as SFL.
