Pretty much the first chapter in Sloterdijk is about the bubble's significance in regard to seeing ones own, breath, a visual of ones soul and a consequence of God's original ceramic-pnematic creation of Adam - God blowing life into his clay man. Seems like the link to subjectivizing ones breath and respiro-control is vital for learning to speak.
