3. CHAPTER 3.1. LONG VOWELS
According this site http://www.allwords.com/word-long+vowel.html long vowel is a vowel which is normally pronounced somewhat longer than other vowels. Long vowels can be identify by two dots ":". In the first place in this video websitehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY6EZjcDZdA we can see about the five long vowels and some examples. Also, according this site http://www.abcfastphonics.com/long-short-vowels.html Whether a vowel has a long sound, a short sound, or remains silent, depends on its position in a word and the letters around it.

I will say that the long vowels sounds have a variation where they are pronunced in rapid speech, as you said it also depends in the position in a word. The diacritic ":" helps us to identify a long vowel sound in the phonemic transcription.
