This paper is an attempt to analyze variation within the framework of the Rank-Ordering Model of Eval (ROE; Coetzee 2004, 2006). One of the most important assertions of ROE is that there is order among the candidates. That is, Eval imposes order on all candidates, including non-optimal outputs, and the optimal output and its variants occupy the highest slots in the candidate hierarchy. Specifically, all candidates are ranked, and if there arise more than one output, they are assumed to violate only the constraints below the critical cut-off, and they are observed as variant outputs. In case variants are observed, the critical cut-off is located in the position where variants do not violate the constraints above the cut-off and at the same time, all the other candidates violate the constraints above the constraints. In other words, in ROE, the constraints are divided into two kinds of constraints, and they are separated by the critical cut-off. By using the concept of rank ordering and critical cut-off, this paper provides an analysis of variation in vowel reduction/elision in English and shows that the analysis within ROE can be an alternative to the approaches to variation.
