Narrative:

Boston tower (128.8) cleared us to cross runway 22R at east; then call ground on 121.9. Clearing the runway on the west side; we had to stop because we were unsure if a taxiing B757 was going to give way or not. The B757 flight was in the turn from K onto B northbound. The B757 aircraft showed no indication they would stop. Their taxi light remained on the entire event. My captain held position on east and turned off our taxi light. The rear of our plane was still well over the hold short line on the active runway side. I contacted ground on 121.9 as B757 crossed east directly in front of us; as my attention previously was on the B757 aircraft. The ground controller then told us to give way to the B757. Ground then cleared us left on B; right on K to the gate. This is the path B757 had just come. The was not enough room for our aircraft to clear the hold short line for 22R and remain clear of taxiway B for the B757. Possible coordination issue between tower controller for 22R (128.8); ground controller; the B757 flight; and us. We had no advisory from tower or ground regarding the B757.
