Could be anything from a bad Slave or Master Cylinder or a throw-out Bearing or it even may just need bled.

My first thought is check the clutch fluid, if its full (or empty)try bleeding the clutch (after you put fluid in if its empty of course) and see what it does. If you bleed it and it is still very soft i would try replacing the Slave cylinder....I had the exact same thing happen in my old TII and the Slave cylinder was the culprit.

Either the slave or master cylinder has failed. It's grinding because it is failing to disengage the disc from the flywheel.
