One of the most useful definitions I found was from Luciano Ramalho, the author of Fluent Python (and so many other cool things). According to his insight, a framework is something that calls your code. A library is something your code calls. Frameworks are more rigid things that force structure on your functionality. If the structure it imposes is good, then your code will be good.
Their scope is also tailored to the languages they support. As you pointed out, different languages will have different needs.
