Discourse markers containing utterance verbs refer to discourse markers containing the verb of speaking "shuo" (说) which means more than just "speak". This paper puts discourse markers containing utterance verbs in one category and examines their different degrees of subjectivity. The path of semantic change of "shuo" is: utteranceepistemicity -commentary. The subjectivity of discourse markers containing utterance verbs is closely related to the senses of "shuo" and forms a pattern in terms of degrees of subjectivity: evidentiality < epistemicity < commentary. From the left to the right, subjectivity becomes increasingly stronger and the focus of inter-subjectivity moves from the speaker to the addressee.
