That is simple, "embedded" is a buzzword often understood as 
"something like PC but small". Such definition is quite useless 
because it implies no specific requirements. Like, calling modern 
ARM smartphone an embedded system? No way. You can even afford to 
have something as inefficient as kernel in Java on those 
machines, why not.

Much more practical definition of "embedded" is all about 
specific requirements. Real-time systems, systems with hard 
memory restrictions (imagine coding in environment where malloc 
is prohibited because every single byte of physical memory is 
pre-allocated). Those can vary from microchips to monstrous 
servers and I don't see anything but C or C++ with lot of custom 
policies used there.
