I don't think there is one. I can't imagine it would be very useful either. Since *every* construct in Mathematica is actually just a function in disguise (even the data types, more or less) it could be rather short. On the other hand, given the enormous amount of reserved words (a couple of thousands), it would be rather tedious to list them all.
