In the context of an ASL conversation within the Deaf community, the equivalent of touching another person's hands in the hearing world is most similar to **interrupting someone's sentence**. Touching hands can serve as a way to get someone's attention or to indicate a desire to communicate, which can parallel the act of interrupting in spoken conversation.
