Not if by highlight you mean to have the syntax recognize it and give  
it different color. Allan plans to have some support for such dynamic  
scopes for some time in the distant future, but for now the syntax  
grammars are static.

You could however write a macro that would *select* the current  
sentence, if that is what you want. Having it do a backwards search  
with regexp enabled and find: (?<=[\.\n])[^\.\n]*\. would probably do  
it. You can tweak it appropriately depending on what kind of  
sentences you want to catch.
