This depends on OS, and gui or terminal emulator.  On my kubuntu gvim
(with gtk2-gnome gui) can map alt-backspace, but vim in gnome-terminal
or konsole can't, vim in xterm can.

To see for your set-up, go into vim's insert mode, type control v, alt-
backspace.  (If control v is paste for you, use control q.)  If you
see something inserted into your buffer, it can go on the left hand
side of a map command.  In my gvim

:map! <M-BS> <C-W>

deletes the word before the cursor in insert mode.
